Fighting for animal liberation and an end to speciesism
Sheep jump to death before slaughter.
A herd of sheep being led to slaughter in Turkey have instead ended...
Herder Mejmet Gana was guiding his 52 sheep across a mountain range when suddenly one of the sheep turned to the edge of a cliff and jumped, quickly followed by the rest, Russian TV station RT reports.
The sheep were being taken to a local market where they were going to be sold for a Muslim holiday that involves animal sacrifice.
The sheep carcasses were found at the bottom of the cliff.
But it's not the first time the European country has witnessed an unprovoked mass sheep suicide. In 2005, 1500 sheep jumped off a cliff in Turkey.
The first 450 were killed, but the rest survived by landing on the dead bodies of the herd below, the Aksam newspaper reported.

The link doesn't mention what the fate of the survivors was. I guess it's silly to think it was anything more than being slaughtered for the gratification of humans.
I wonder why this happened, and if they really knew what awaited them.
