There was a sheep wandering on one of the roads up there a few months ago. Rather than herd it off the road or make an effort to call the nearest farmer, to whom the poor thing almost certainly belonged to, the officer who responded simply drew his Glock and killed it. Wasn't a good shot either - even from a few feet away he still took two shots to put it down. The farmer was, understandably, upset...there was even talk of a lawsuit in the works, but nothing ever came of it. Don’t call the Northampton (PA) County sheriff’s office.

They're pretty skittish too; but at least bears are bigger and are reputed to be more dangerous than turkeys. (That gravatar placeholder looks like the finial of a newel.)
