After reading the original reports of what transpired with those sheep, by someone who was there and was involved, I can't believe the media is even reporting on the same story. They make it sound as if these people were devastated and got immediate help. In reality, they went to work as per usual, leaving those poor creatures to die slowly and horribly alone for all of those hours.
This is spin-doctoring at its finest! In my opinion, the people who owned these sheep, deserve to be charged with cruelty and neglect. And the reporter needs his/her head examined.
