Angry Residents Detain Sheep in Romania
Posted on: Friday, 5 September 2003, 06:00 CDT
Residents of a northwestern village have freed hundreds of sheep they locked in the courtyard of a local community center after the animals nibbled away at their lawns, authorities said Friday.
About 500 sheep belonging to farmer Pavel Stoian, from the neighboring county of Sibiu, were trapped Thursday after they were caught feeding in residential gardens, said Gavril Felecan, the deputy mayor.
The shepherds looking after the flock repeatedly were asked by villagers in Aschileul Mic, 280 miles northwest of Bucharest, to keep the sheep off their property.
Felecan said the residents and Stoian's representative made peace late Thursday, after the sheep owner promised not to let his animals destroy people's lawns and fields.
