A farmer in southwestern England painted his entire flock of sheep orange to discourage thieves, the Daily Telegraph reports.
John Heard, 48, has put his flock of 250 blackface ewes through a harmless dip of orange dye making them so highly visible that cautious thieves are giving them a wide berth.
Heard had lost 200 sheep over the past few years but says the orange dye is working, and he hasn't lost one this year. (點擊《每日電訊報》查看原文)
牧場主將羊染色防被盜
???????據(jù)英國《每日電訊報》報道,為了防賊偷羊,英國西南地區(qū)的一位牧場主把他的整個羊群都染成了橙色。
???????48歲的約翰·赫德用一種無害的染色劑把250只黑面母羊染成了極其顯眼的橙色,小心謹慎的竊賊也就離羊群遠遠的。
???????過去幾年間,赫德已經(jīng)丟失了200只羊。據(jù)他說橙色染料確實管用,今年他還一只羊都沒丟過。
