Britain’s so-called “loneliest sheep,” which was stuck at the foot of a remote cliff in Scotland, has been rescued, according to a group of farmers who made it their mission to save the well-known sheep. Cammy Wilson, who led the rescue mission, said it was a risky one – and that’s why, despite past attempts by others, the sheep had been stuck for so long.

There was an animal activist group who were trying to rescue the sheep as well days prior. Here’s their video: video

    Wilson said the farmer that owned Fiona didn’t want to ask “anyone else for help because it would be on him if they got hurt.”

    “So sometimes you just need a group of idiots to get a job done,” he wrote in the caption. “We got a great result today but a slip of a foot and we would have just been fools with good intentions.”
