    So what do you expect them to do in that situation?

    Options:
    -Shoot the sheep
    -Continue chasing it around SH1 to get it into a paddock
    -Run it down with the car (WTF @Maca49 ?!)
    -Leave it and wait a long time for animal control to come and shoot it

    Remember this is SH1 not some back country road and you don't have anyone or dogs to help without endangering them. And public safety is the overriding priority.

    What's safest for the public? (already waiting for the completely irrelevant highway shooting references)

    I know I would have shot it, good backdrop and clear visibility all around. I thought he did a pretty good job, considering I used to be a farmer and have an interest in firearms, maybe your armchairs are more comfy than mine.

    No @gimp a member of the public wouldn't have been 'arrested in a heartbeat' for doing the same, I don't know where you get that silly idea from.
