Update: December 25th. No one has seen Nadia since deer season opened on December 2. There is always hope. If she is still alive it looks like she may always be the wild sheep of Kutztown, PA. She is a tough one to catch.
This is a sad tale. I received am email from a friend who had gotten a call from a woman, Sue, about a sheep that had been shot with an arrow near Kutztown, Pennsylvania. It appeared in her backyard a few days ago. She called animal control and numerous other agencies but no one would help. We posted a plea on the Garden State Sheep Breeders group for help. Reni Melvin and her vet, Dr Bergman came to the rescue. Dr Bergman and his father drove 3 hours only to find the sheep has been chased into the woods even after Sue pleaded them not to chase it.
The ewe is still on the run. It was very frustrating and the sheep’s time is running out.
I am grateful for people like Reni Melvin, Samantha Friedenberg, Sue Foster and Dr Bergman. Many thanks to all those who have offered advice and words of encouragement.
The story continues to evolve as I write this post. Let’s hope for a happy ending.
