British Police Spring Into Action!

We are very pleased to report that the British police are now taking the Animal Uprising™ with complete seriousness. They are pulling out all the stops to capture animals running amok in the streets. And they are committing vast resources to the effort, too. Why, just the other day they chased down a sheep. It took a few people though:

A sheep has been nicknamed Ewe-dini after escaping from a pen and evading capture by six police officers, four supermarket staff, two factory workers and a security guard.

In scenes reminiscent of Keystone Cop movie chases, the sheep led the chase for two hours as it ran four miles through the streets of Brighton with its posse following behind.

Motorists had to pull over to avoid hitting the animal before it ran into a garden and was cornered and taken back to its farm.

PC Katie Fairweather, 24, said: "We were all a bit breathless at the end, including the sheep.

"I couldn't believe how fast it was. We kept running after it, losing it, getting into our patrol car, spotting it again, getting out and chasing it again and so on."

The sheep escaped from a farm north of Brighton on Wednesday and ran past a nearby police station as it headed into the city.

Officers took up the chase and as the sheep fled past a supermarket and a factory, staff joined in the hunt.

We here at Blue Crab Boulevard have managed to obtain exclusive video of the police chase of Ewe-dini. We thought our readers would be interested in seeing the British police in full animal chase mode.
