俄亥俄州一只黑腹羊逃亡45天 13岁少女骑马套索将其捕获
俄亥俄州 Wadsworth 一只美国黑腹羊在镇上逃亡了45天，本周三（11月11日）被一名13岁少女骑马套索捕获，这场持续一个多月的围捕就此结束。
这只羊在逃亡期间多次被人目击。Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary 的负责人 Janine Smalley 和志愿者 Rebecca Roxberry 发起了一场社交媒体搜寻行动，志愿者、县警部门甚至无人机都参与过尝试，但一直没有成功。
最终完成捕获的是13岁的 Reagan Crumpler 和她18岁的马 Catalena。Reagan 此前也多次尝试套住这只羊，直到周三才成功。Roxberry 对当地媒体说，Wadsworth 的居民非常帮忙。
这只羊被命名为 Gerri Reagan，名字取自捕获它的少女。目前它在 Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary 接受72小时的留置观察，状态良好。
庇护所表示，目前还没有主人前来认领；如果始终无人认领，这只羊将成为农场的常住居民。
Ohio Sheep on the Lam for 45 Days Is Roped by 14-Year-Old and Her Horse
An American Blackbelly sheep that had been on the run in Wadsworth, Ohio, for 45 days was captured on Wednesday, November 11, by a 13-year-old roper and her horse, ending a pursuit that had drawn in volunteers, a sheriff's department and aerial drones.
The sheep had been spotted several times during its 45 days at large. Janine Smalley, owner of Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary, and farm volunteer Rebecca Roxberry launched a social media campaign to rescue the animal, and repeated attempts to catch it had failed.
The capture was finally made by Reagan Crumpler, 14, working with her 18-year-old horse, Catalena. Reagan had tried to rope the sheep before without success. "The people of Wadsworth, they were so helpful," Roxberry told local media.
The sheep has been named Gerri Reagan, after the teenage roper, and is doing well on a 72-hour hold at Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary.
No potential owners have come forward. If none does, the sanctuary says, the sheep will become a permanent resident of the farm.
