Sheep can get quite emotional, ewe know

Mar 14 2005

Daniel Davies, Western Mail

SHEEP experience complex human emotions like love, scientists have
discovered.

Ewes fall in love with rams, sheep have best friends and they feel sad
when members of the flock die or are slaughtered, studies have found.

Electrodes were inserted into sheep's brains to measure activity when
they were stimulated.

Sheep were shown pictures of rams they were closely associated with or
sheep in their group of "friends".

Scientists at the Babraham Research Institute in Cambridge recorded the
animals' brain activity when they were shown the pictures.
