Sheep caught running loose on the streets of Brooklyn

Feb. 5 (UPI) -- A sheep has a new home at a New Jersey sanctuary after being found wandering the streets of Brooklyn.

The New York Police Department said on social media that the sheep was spotted running loose in a parking lot near a Costco store in the Sunset Park neighborhood.

Officers wrangled the sheep and took it to Brooklyn Animal Control.

"Not baaaaad for a group of cops with no experience shepherding a sheep," police wrote.

The sheep was taken to a new permanent home at Skylands Animal Sanctuary.

Mike Stura, president and founder of Skylands, posted a video to Facebook showing the sheep being transported to the sanctuary in the back of his truck.

Stura said the sheep, dubbed Lyn, did not have any tags or other identifying marks.

Lyn's origins remained unclear, but she was found in an area near multiple slaughterhouses.
