A flock of sheep brought in to tidy a graveyard is reported to have behaved aggressively, including ramming and headbutting some mourners. According to the accounts provided, families at the site experience the animals interacting with people during visits, leading to complaints about safety and disturbance. The reports also state that organizers or staff tell families the sheep are “tame,” indicating the animals are intended to be non-threatening while grazing and trimming grass in the cemetery.

The sources do not provide additional details such as how many people were affected, whether any injuries were reported, or whether any formal complaints or investigations were initiated. The situation is presented as a clash between the intended purpose of using livestock for maintenance and the animals’ observed behavior around mourners.
