It was rather obvious imo that the sheep wanted to go through said gate.
Sheep are easy as to control you just have to think ahead of them.
Still who cares sheep is dead end of story.

Just hold on to hope, one day you will get to see a Llama being dropped, one day.

I live to see a llama go down ..........maybe I could go hunt some wild kiamanawa llamas ..... get those cute horsey girls to come with me

Remember folks there is generally more then just a camera man involved when it comes to a film crew. I'm sure if they all wanted too, cop included, they most likely could have got that sheep across the fence.

Sorry but there is only a single camera person in the cop shows, there is no room in the cop car for more.

Bro. You're talking to a guy who's farmed sheep all his life.

agree with The Savage 1 fella, sometimes it is actually now for a safe result. $120 mutton for a priceless family???

Could have shot the lock off with the glock? I believe shooting it made better TV gotta sell these programmes!;)

Hahaha this is gold

Jeeeezus what an amateur. Obviously not from the South Island. If he'd just taken his pants off, the sheep would run straight for the nearest tight gap in the fence and got its head stuck, game over. That might be classed as indecent exposure though...so fuk it, get the AR out. Hope he whipped the guts out and skinned it off camera! :D :ORLY:

Sheep aren't as dumb as people "think" (say) they are. :)

This footage is at least a year old, I'm pretty sure its already been on this forum.

If he took it to vet in north Otago he could have got a cause of death as a" dog attack".

I emailed TVNZ right away and praised them for showing it. The more GUNS and SHOOTING the public see on tv the less of a minority us gun users seem to be

Deer and horses are pretty nasty too. Seen the aftermath of both. One a fatality from hitting a horse. I know a guy who had a young stag end up in the passengers seat beside him. Wrote off his surf.

Yeah and one doesn't necessarily need to even hit the animal for it to cause death or injury (e.g. swerving to avoid and hitting another car / flying off a cliff etc.)

What a great decision that cop made. Our families safety is a lot more important than some ones ewe.

Good shooting too, no pressure we're filming you...

I see that a copper had a near miss this morning from death after hitting a steer on the road.
ANY livestock is too f*ckn dangerous just to be left to wander roads and highways.

Couple years ago wife and I on our road bike ran into a mob of heifers that had got out.
Happened 10 pm at night.
Not a great deal of fun.
But reckon if we had been in a car would have probably had one through the windscreen which would have been worse.
The problem today is the standard of fencing and stock security in general is heaps better than it used to be.
Electric fencing and hot wire help too.
And when they get out stock are unexpected.

Bloody Farmers! Just a disgrace all the wild livestock on our roads;)

I almost hit a young bull on the road a few at 5am one morning last week.
Another farming type gentleman stopped after he almost hit it too, we tried to herd it back through a gate but it wasn't keen on that and resorted to trying to charge me and then tanked off down the road. Don't know where it ended up going, but I know if someone had shot it would certainly not have complained.

I also had a close run in with 4 dairy cows on the same stretch of road, thankfully they were a pretty docile and were keen to get back into a paddock.

Needless to say, coming across cattle on the road is not fun and had I been in that same situation I would've shot the Ewe. Herding sheep in a paddock can be hard enough for un-experienced folk, let alone on SH1.

Had a close call with a dark brown horse on SH1 one night, hard to see until you're already too close for comfort. Fortunately it seemed to know where it was going and buggered off over a fence heading away from the road.

I've come across a horse on SH2 at 10pm at night, luckily it was in a 70km zone, just before the 100km zone. Near Taneatua, so no surprise there. :yuush:

I swerved a frog the other night, not many around these days :D plenty of those moaning humans though ha ha ha

Horse this time......
"Motor Vehicle Crash - Truck v Horse - State Highway One, Foxton - Horowhenua - National Alerts"

22 July, 2015 At just after 9pm a horse from a nearby property ran onto State Highway One near Foxton.

The horse was struck by a Ute and a truck killing it instantly.

The Ute rolled causing moderate injuries to the driver.

A third vehicle had to take evasive action causing it to collide with a power pole which brought power lines down trapping the driver in the car for over 2 hours until the scene could be made safe for the driver to be extracted. The drivers of the Ute and the car were taken to Palmerston North hospital in moderate conditions; the driver of the truck suffered no injuries.

I hope those drivers thought about opening a gate before they decided to plow into the horse with their vehicles

About 20 years ago three family friends in two motorbikes hit a cow on the west coast-there funerals were the first I remember attending.

I think the cop did the right thing

A loose sheep on State Highway 1? I'm surprised it hadn't been kidnapped, raped, and murdered.
