Wayward sheep keeps police busy in Philadelphia

Associated Press Posted Monday, November 12, 2007 at 7:02 am

PHILADELPHIA -- The city streets in Philadelphia aren't exactly the place you'd expect to find a sheep wandering around, but the sheep apparently didn't get the memo.

Police spent some of their time Sunday morning trying to corral a full-grown sheep taking in the sights in the city's Port Richmond section.

The animal was first spotted on Belgrade Avenue around 5:30 a.m. Police chased the sheep down several streets. Each time the officers cornered it, the determined animal managed to escape.

Officers finally caught the wooly critter and contacted animal control. So far there's no word about who owns the sheep.

YOU KNOW that sheep wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes down south, guy would have stepped out the house and wrangled that bad boy....

My God it is just a sheep. Why the hell did they chase it with their cars.
Last summer at our house in the mountains they were doing some work by the old brewery that is higher up on the mountain. They must have disturbed a bear because it came running down Centre St. The police were chasing it with their cars sirens on and all. Well the poor scared bear just ran up and down the streets running from the noise. He finally ran up our alley into the other mountain. We were not there at the time but my sister said it was a sight. (the few cops we have in that town are not too bright)
