NZ Launches Pamplona-Style Sheep Run
Somehow it's not the same...
A small New Zealand town has tried to match the glamour and danger of the Spanish bull-run city of Pamplona - by running 2,000 woolly sheep through the middle of a town. No one was chased, trampled or gored by the animals in the inaugural 'Running of the Sheep'. Instead of seeking cover, most spectators helped stop the shaggy mob from scurrying everywhere but the right direction. Headed initially by All Black rugby player greats Colin Meads and Sir Brian Lochore, the sheep were supposed to do a quick circuit through downtown in North Island's Te Kuiti, a rural farming town 355 miles north of Wellington. But the 2,000 ewes lacked the instinct of Spanish bulls, as they split into puzzled groups and set off in all directions. "I think the sheep panicked and we couldn't keep in front of them," Meads said.
Maybe they're more used to being chased?
