Local Farmer Breeding Pit-Bull Sheep To Ward Off Dog Attacks
SICK of losing livestock to roaming dogs, local sheep farmer Michael O’Dwyer is defending his controversial new genetically modified “pit-bull sheep,” which he says has finally brought peace to his farm.
Critics argue that the 37-year-old is “playing with nature,” but O’Dwyer insists the results speak for themselves.
“We haven’t had any losses since getting these bad boys in,” he said, proudly displaying one of the muscular sheep. He claims the animals not only defend the flock but also produce twice the wool of a typical sheep.
“The only carcasses I find on the farm now are the dogs that try to trespass and attack my sheep,” O’Dwyer added, struggling to control one of the pit-bull sheep as it snarled. “Oh don’t worry, he won’t bite—it’s only when they have a bad owner they attack,” he said, winking sarcastically.
Protesters outside the farm say dozens of local dogs have gone missing or turned up dead near the farm gates since the new breed’s introduction.
“I guess it’s a taste of their own medicine,” O’Dwyer said, admitting that he is now finding it difficult to keep sheepdogs on the farm due to the aggressive behavior of the genetically modified flock.
“Look, you can’t have it every way,” he added.
Buoyed by his perceived success, O’Dwyer revealed he is already experimenting with additional genetic crossovers, combining hens and reptiles.
“It’ll basically be a velociraptor,” he explained. “But a cute little one that slices foxes in two.”
