Shaggy protesters baaaa-ttle urban sprawl

Yeah, I suppose food is "offbeat" news. I mean, why don't these people join the 21st century, lock the sheep in feedlots, transport them by rail or truck and force feed them expensive grain rather than letting them roam free on pasture?

Besides, people in the cities don't need to see these disgusting creatures - except prepackaged as lamb chops in the freezer case of the local supermarket. That's where food comes from, after all.

(Please allow me to sincerely apologize if any of the sarcasm in this post dripped off of the screen and gummed up your keyboard.)

On a weekend of street rallies in Spain -- Basques demanding independence, right-wingers nostalgic for the late Francisco Franco, pyramid-scheme investors who lost bundles -- on Sunday it was time for sheep to come forward and bleat.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
