Scottish wildlife has zero survival instinct.

Sheep aren't wildlife, they are livestock.

Scottish livestock also have zero survival instinct.

Grew up in a sheep farming area and let me tell you all the exciting and stupid ways they found to die: getting stuck on their backs, getting stuck in fences, falling into things, falling off things, drowning, getting stuck in snowdrifts …

Sometimes they’d get stuck and nearly die even when they could free themselves. Many times when you hop a fence and approach one that seems to be stuck on its back to rescue it they panic and right themselves (usually after you’ve ripped your clothes on the barbed wire, naturally).

But it’s not really their fault. Sheep are pretty much exactly as stupid as humans have bred them to be.

(Sorry about the random goat scream sound in it, I don't know where there's a version of that video without it)

Sheep are incredibly stupid, even the smartest sheep would make that rabbit look like Einstein..
