Following the herd
This actually reminded me of France.
First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile, the Aksam newspaper said. Those who jumped later were saved as the pile got higher and the fall more cushioned, Aksam reported.

LOL. Are you referring to Turkish or French sheep? (Not that I'm actually interested...)
Carine,
Perhaps this was an army of suicide-bomber sheep. AlQaeda military research and development?

Hm... well, I'll with-hold an answer on that one, but when people spend their lived guided, indeed HERDED by "benevolent" government, it's not much of a surprise to see what they turn into.

Bertrand de Jouvenel, French philosopher
German sheep begat Hitler. Czar Nicholas’s society of sheep begat Lenin. Appeasement begat World War II, and today our ovine societies that attempt to “understand why they hate us” will produce a bigger pack of wolves who slaughter in the name of the Koran.
We should not try and “understand” the hate of Islam any more than previous generations tried to understand the hate of the Nazi’s or the hate of Hirihito’s minions. The jihadists must be destroyed as completely as their predecessors of death were destroyed.
