A farmer in southwestern England painted his entire flock of sheep orange to discourage thieves, the Daily Telegraph reports.

John Heard, 48, has put his flock of 250 blackface ewes through a harmless dip of orange dye making them so highly visible that cautious thieves are giving them a wide berth.

Heard had lost 200 sheep over the past few years but says the orange dye is working, and he hasn't lost one this year. （點擊《每日電訊報》查看原文）

牧場主將羊染色防被盜

???????據英國《每日電訊報》報道，為了防賊偷羊，英國西南地區的一位牧場主把他的整個羊群都染成了橙色。

???????48歲的約翰·赫德用一種無害的染色劑把250只黑面母羊染成了極其顯眼的橙色，小心謹慎的竊賊也就離羊群遠遠的。

???????過去幾年間，赫德已經丟失了200只羊。據他說橙色染料確實管用，今年他還一只羊都沒丟過。
