Trapped lamb.

Darren’s day off. He decided not to go to caravan after work yesterday so today we had our morning walk locally, well about 10 miles from home.
We drove a few miles in to the Peak District and parked up at a stop we have been to quite a few times. The weather was quite Misty and pretty cool and when we started walking became a little bit drizzly. This lamb was in this spot ( photo ) but darren just thought it was grazing and he didn’t take a great deal of notice. We carried on our walk and as we climbed higher it got mistier and mistier and got to the point where we couldn’t see the distant hills. It was very quiet though, so peaceful, just as Darren likes it, I on the other hand was feeling a little cold if I’m honest and a little wet.
Our walk lasted about 2 hours and as we made our way back to the road darren noticed the lamb again, in the exact same spot, he knew then that it was stuck. The car was parked no more than 50 yards from where the lamb was so Darren put me back in car. He then went back to the lamb to see what the problem was, it had obviously squeezed its head through the wire fencing and couldn’t pull it out. Darren did wonder how it managed to get its head through in first place as the wire rectangle seemed very small. Darren didn’t know what to do, but he knew he couldn’t just get in car and drive off. He pondered trying to stretch the wire, that was a non starter, he looked in car for any kind tool that may cut the wire, he had no tools. There is a farm with farm buildings just about 5 minutes walk away, so he went there, he couldn’t see anybody despite loitering about, he just wanted to catch somebody’s attention. He went back to the lamb. He looked on Google for what to do if you come across sheep stuck in wire fencing, one of the things was to try and push their ears and then try and pull their head through, darren did try this, but wasn’t having any success and the lamb was getting a bit stressed, which wasn’t what darren wanted. He went to the farm again, still didn’t see anybody, then went back to lamb. One of other things google said was to pick up sheep with their back legs, which causes them to drop their heads and makes it easier to try and get a stuck head unstuck. Darren wasn’t confident he could do this, the lamb was a lot more comfortable in darren’s presence but picking its legs up was probably a bit too much. Darren went back to the farm a third time and fortunately this time he saw a farmer coming out of a side gate in the distance, he shouted, waved his hands and ran towards him. He told the young farmer about the lamb, he said he’d go get some wire cutters and go to lamb straight away. Relieved, darren made his way back to car and the lamb. The farmer past him in his little 4x4, but darren was only a few seconds away from car. The farmer got to the lamb and while darren was watching the farmer raised the lambs back legs and eventually freed the lamb, which then happily ran away seemingly undamaged by the ordeal.
Darren gave the farmer a thumbs up and explained to the farmer that he was pleased to see the lamb ok, even if it is only to have a short life. The farmer thanked him and went on his way. About an hour had passed since Darren put me in car, but he wasn’t going to leave until he’d helped that lamb.
I’d like to think all humans would react that way or at least most although darren is pretty soft when it comes to animals in distress, so who knows how others would have reacted.
