    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.

        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.

            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.
