I'm a pacifist really but I could actually happily mete out one of the punishments mentioned. The farmer was beside himself with anger it was only with persuasion the police persuaded him not to use his shot gun.
He had incapacitated the sheep to make it less dangerous.
It's made us really look at humans as pretty awful things, it's been a while since we thought they were particularly nice but we've never been quite so disgusted before. Luckily grace slept through it all because I didn't fancy explaining it to her !
