Dramatic Sheep Rescue
Thursday October 1st 2009
The day before yesterday Lesley, the manager at our Welsh rescue received a call from Jackie, an ex member of staff at the shelter, about a sheep stuck on a ledge in Dorothea Quarry. The animal had been there for 2 weeks and was clearly becoming distressed and weak. This Quarry is well known for its deep waters which have claimed the lives of several divers over the past few years.
Barry, one of the shelters' advisers went out to have a look at the situation and agreed with Lesley that there was a chance that if someone managed to climb down to save the sheep there was a good chance it would leap to its death, however it was clear we could not wait much longer to attempt a rescue.
Calls to another charity had resulted in no action being taken and so Barry was asked if he would mention it to some of his mountain rescue friends. Lesley was unsure whether they would help but last night we received a call to say that members of Abergele Mountain rescue had come to the rescue, had climbed down to save the errant sheep and apart from it being thin and weak, it was safe and well.
A big THANK YOU to all concerned they really are brilliant!
