Seriously though, what the fuck is the civilian excuse for guns on the Falklands? The only native natural predator that could hurt the sheep is long extinct. I guess they're afraid the sheep will have a revolution.
Might be due to the conflicts with Argentina? Honestly not sure.
If the Argentine army lands, drafting the sheep and giving them guns isn't going to stop an occupation any more than it did before.
They should import emus.
That's more of a llama area when it comes to large angry herbavores. They actually supposedly ended up doing just that with the llamas and then had to hunt them down.
I have very little knowledge about llamas. I heard they're feisty but I've never seen one in the flesh.
Closest thing I'm familiar with are alpacas and camels.
