A shepherd who allowed his wayward sheep to intimidate his neighbours has admitted breaching an Asbo which banned the flock from the village.
Reading the article closely, it seems that the real problem is that the shepherd had the legal right to let his sheep roam freely, but this legal right caused problems for the people of the town. So it seems that they used laws designed to limit the movement of wife beaters and such to force him to keep his sheep away from where he had the legal right to let his sheep roam.
Still, the headline of people in the U.K being intimidated by sheep seemed like such a good representation of the character of the modern inhabitants of England that I just could not pass it up.
