Rammed to death in Town Centre car park

Well, when arriving for work at 07.00 in the morning you don't expect to be told there's a dead sheep on the car park do you? I didn't but that's exactly how my working day started this morning. All the more bizarre because I work slap bang in the centre of Stockport, if you're not familiar with Stockport it's a town with city potential. 

And like any large town, particularly within the centre, it's kind of like buildings, shops, offices, homes and roads. A real hive of activity, a concrete suburbia and not really the place you'd expect to find a sheep alive or dead; not a place you'd expect to find a farm nor the green pastures of an idyllic countryside scene -  because you wouldn't, this is Stockport. 

So with this in mind, the question that begged to be answered this morning and still remains unanswered now is where exactly did the sheep come from? How did it come to arrive at its' final resting place? It was on the out ramp of a multi-storey car park just kind of lay there like it was asleep; no signs of injury or anything - but still, when all is said and done, dead. And it was all tagged up and had spray paint on its' back, like it should belong in a farmers field somewhere; somewhere miles away from where it was, that's for sure.

Just the most bizarre set of circumstance and the most bizarre scene I have known whilst at work; and I have worked the town centre for over a decade. It was eventually removed by the Council - how they moved it I've no idea, I didn't witness it. I'm sure there was some standing around and major head scratching going on anyway, I guess it's not everyday they're called to remove a dead sheep from a town centre car park.

But before it went I took some photos, I just had to, for the record if nothing else. I mean if I posted this without photographic evidence, you wouldn't have believed me would you?
