Baaaking Mad in Sapporo

As you would be if you bought a poodle and it didn't bark, eat dog food and you went to the vet to have its toes clipped and are told they are hooves. Apparently poodles are very expensive in Japan and people who bought the $1,600 sheep thought they were getting a bargain. More than they bargained for more like.

Sheep are quite rare in Japan and most Japanese have never seen one. Perhaps they should have checked here first.

Sheep can be purchased for about $50 in the local market here in South Australia. With a bit of feeding and grooming and transportation costs thrown in, there is a good potential for a quick profit. Great business scam while it lasted.

Thanks Cheeseburger Gothic for the entertainment tip.
