Sheep and goats form a huge syringe – that's behind it

On Monday, a field in Lower Saxony presented an unusual picture. Around 700 sheep and goats form an oversized syringe there.

Schneverdingen – Around 700 sheep and goats have formed a 100-meter-long syringe in a field in Schneverdingen in Lower Saxony. The idea behind this is to advertise the corona vaccination in an unusual way.

“I have considered what contribution I can make to combating the pandemic,” said the organizer of the campaign in the Heidekreis, Hanspeter Etzold, opposite the dpa. His action is aimed primarily at people who are still undecided whether to get vaccinated against Corona.

Sheep and goats advertise the corona vaccination in Lower Saxony

“Sheep are such likeable animals, maybe they can get the message across better that way,” explains Hanspeter Etzold. The shepherdess Wiebke Schmidt-Kochan carried out the event with her animals. The shepherdess prepared the action and practiced it with her animals for several days.

The action on Monday afternoon (January 3rd, 2022) was not particularly difficult for you and the animals, says Schmidt-Kochan. In order for the animals to form the correct shape, she used a simple trick: she distributed pieces of bread in the form of syringes on the floor beforehand. When the animals were then left on the meadow, they immediately rushed to eat and thus stood perfectly for the motif. But not only sheep and goats advertise vaccination – many stars advertise the vaccination campaign “Sleeves up”. (sne / dpa) * hna.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
