It's right fucked that this headline is so diminutive and primed to be the subject of derision, cause this shit is based as hell. "I saved these rams that capitalism decided had no value cause they wouldn't fuck ewes and use their wool to make pro-LGBT clothing" is fucking amazing.

Headline : dumbest thing I've ever heard. This is why the right hates us.

After reading article: oh this is actually pretty dope.

Conclusion: Editor opted for rage-bait and I hate them.

I really wish writing a headline like this would make an editor unemployable.

Jokes aside, thats a really good cause and nice story. I just wish the designer had something better to say other than “I really wanted to lean into the gay”.

Saving the lives of rams that would just otherwise get killed?

I love that because of the nature of the rams, the rescue effort need be continuous. Hard work I’m sure but so cute
