RSPCA rescues sheep with traffic cone stuck on its head

A distressed sheep had to be rescued after getting a traffic cone stuck on her head.

The RSPC was called to a field in Rickmansworth after the confused ewe was seen wandering around with the bright orange object lodged over her face.

Video footage captured the bizarre sight on Sunday, ranked as one of the charity's most bizarre rescues of the year.

But, because the animal was still able to see where it was going, inspector Rachel Smith said she had to crouch on the ground to sneak up on her.

She said: "I managed to grab the cone and she backed away from me so she popped right out.

“Although no harm came to this unfortunate sheep, on a serious note people should make sure all hazards are removed from areas that farm animals have access to.”
