Tasty bits of bread did the trick for 700 sheep and goats to join Germany's drive aimed at encouraging more people to get vaccinated against Covid-19, reports AP.
The animals were arranged into the shape of a roughly 100-metre syringe in a field at Schneverdingen, south of Hamburg.
Shepherd Wiebke Schmidt-Kochan spent several days practicing with her animals, news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported. But she said in the end, it wasn't difficult to work things out and she laid out pieces of bread in the shape of the syringe, which the sheep and goats gobbled up when they were let out into the field.
Organizer Hanspeter Etzold said the action was aimed at people who are still hesitating to get vaccinated.
