Yes that’s what I thought initially too. Then I watched a few more videos and came to this realization. If you watched the interview videos (watch the one from BBC Morning show) the farm who adopted Fiona had to hire security because of animal rights activists. What I suspect is the owner gave the animal rights activists a few days to get the sheep out. When they couldn’t after a few days, told them to get equipment (which they clearly didn’t have in their first 3 attempts, and did not mention having equipment either when they went back and found the sheep was gone) and gave them the run around and got this bunch of farmers to do it, who did it in one go. He gave the sheep away because he didn’t want the attention of activists.
