Firefighters Confused by Sheep and Lambs Stuck on Roof

  • Sammy, a lamb delivered through a euthanasia C-section carried out by a vet on a sheep dairy farm due to the mother's condition, was the only one of the three siblings to survive.
  • Sammy was later identified as a freemartin, a female sheep exposed to male hormones and unable to reproduce, leading the farmer to label her as aggressive.
  • Despite concerns, rescuers Sabrina and Jenni from Farm Sanctuary found Sammy affectionate and trusting, contradicting the initial 'aggressive' label and caring for her with bottle feeding support.
  • Farm Sanctuary, a nonprofit relying on individual support, educates about animal agriculture harms, saves animals like Sammy, and offers them safety and social bonds; Sammy is described as "endlessly affectionate" who "leans in for hugs."
  • Sammy’s rescue highlights how freemartins are often deemed worthless and killed in agriculture, but at Farm Sanctuary, she no longer faces fear and gains a lifelong home.
