Six pregnant sheep belonging to a Protestant farmer from County Tyrone have been daubed with Irish tricolours in an apparent sectarian attack.
The sheep had been left to graze in an isolated field near Ardboe when their coats were covered in green and orange paint to resemble a tricolour.
According to the farmer, who does not want to be identified, there has been an upsurge in sectarian attacks in recent weeks.
He said the ewes were pregnant and fears that some may lose their unborn lambs as a result of the stress they suffered during the incident.
THINK OF THE CHILDREN, you bloody Catholic bah-stards!!
Tee hee hee.
(Hat tip: my dad.)
P.S. Baaaaa.
P.P.S. Yes, yes, I know this is criminal and incendiary and terrible. But still, from a detached outsider’s perspective… Funniest act of sectarian terrorism ever?
P.P.P.S. I note that the farm in question is “near Ardboe.” Ardboe is in the county Tyrone, near the town of Dungannon. Where many’s a ruction meself had a han’ in…

I can explain this whole kerfuffle. It turns out that in Ireland, painting a sheep is considered to be a gentlemanly act of foreplay. So sure, maybe a catholic guy had his way with your sheep. But at least he treated them right.
Maybe dem catholicks ain’t so bad after all. To paraphrase Al Pacino from the Godfather, Part II, why lose a sheep when you could gain a farmhand?
LOL Casey!!! 🙂
“So sure, maybe a catholic guy had his way with your sheep…”
Nah, never happen. ‘Tis true the popish lads are Courtly but that’s just with the fair young Maidens & other men’s Wives, whereas Livestock is against the Catechism; I know cuz I asked Fightin’ Fadduh Feeney.
(Well sez he “I’d go and drown meself but that might be a Sin.”
Sez she, “I’ll go to the water’s edge and I’ll help to Push ye in.”

btw, I see the Boyos opted to locate the Orange field at the sheepish Hindquarters. They could as well have put it at the Shoulders; either way it’s still the right or wrong sequence depending on which side of the Sheep you’re looking at, or where your imagination plants the Flagpole. / Ahhh they probably just flipped a Coin. 🙂
Think of the children, indeed. Of all people, these mick Catholic hooligans should realize that
Every sheep is sacred
Every sheep is good
Every sheep is needed
In your neighborhood
Every sheep is sacred
Every sheep is great
If a sheep is wasted
God…gets quite….irate!!!!
ROTFLMI*AO!!!
