The animal has been trapped for two years in this spot, without any human contact and care) as, due to the morphology of the coast (full of rocks) and the weather, they cannot be approached by inflatable or conventional boats.
After the story was published, the British Hovercraft Company offered to rescue the sheep with a hovercraft (a special type of ship that moves on a layer of air) and is looking for a sponsor for its special mission.
But the Scottish animal welfare organization SPCA warns that the operation to rescue the sheep will be incredibly complicated due to the geography and ever-changing weather in the area.
