Electric-Roasted Sheep.... hmmm......

This hapless sheep has become a real life ‘ram-bo’ after
inadvertently abseiling down a hill when its horn became snagged on
an electricity wire.
The unfortunate sheep was spotted bleating for help more than 15
feet above the ground next to an telegraph pole.
Amazed onlookers watched the ram descend from a grazing pasture –
apparently accidentally – while dangling from a live wire.
Luckily he did not catch the current from the wire.
The drama unravelled at the small town of Helgoysund on the
Norwegian coast on Wednesday.
Tourists at the scene mounted a rescue attempt and eventually roped
him to pull him back to ground level in little over an hour.
Bemused spectators suggested he may have been trying to take the
fast route down to a herd of ewes grazing in the field below.
Marita Vestersjo Landsnes, aged 13, caught the calamity on her
camera phone. The schoolgirl said she couldn’t believe her eyes
when she saw the sheep sliding down the live wire.
Her dad Geir Landsnes, 45, also watched the dramatic events unfold.
He said Marita would never to go out without a camera again.
He said: ‘As a reward for his embarrassing predicament we helped
him to achieve his quest by allowing him access to the ladies.
‘My wife saw something surreal from the kitchen window and realised
it was the sheep hanging five to six metres off the ground from the
wire by its horn and called me straight away, asking what to
do.
‘I asked my daughter Marita to photograph the rescue operation so I
could see the images of what had happened.
‘Marita is so proud that her images and I’ve encouraged her not to
leave the house without her camera.’
The sheep had been grazing on the hill. He had got his horn stuck
on the zip wire and as he got more agitated, was pulled down the
hill on the wire he was attached to and ended more than up five
metres above the ground.
The German tourists were in the area because the Landsnes family,
alongside the sheep farm, run a small vacation place on the
Norwegian island.
The sheep escaped unharmed.
