Or MAYBE the sheep realisied that their spirits were actually lemmings and wanted to get closed to their "inner self" and just hurled themselfs of a cliff!
I couldn't help but think of Bible references to this, but I will keep that to myself.
What I want to know is why people were standing around watching the sheep jump off the cliff instead of trying to stop them? If I read that right, it says the owners "helplessly stood by and watched" them just go off the cliff.
WTH!?
Good thing gorges are a little smarter than that.... wait, I have seen mass suicides in natural selection as well.

This really is a tragedy though - those sheep were quite possibly the main source of income for all 26 families - losing them is like losing a vital job. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That being said, that is too bad for the families that are out quite a bit of income because the sheep had to play monkey-see money-do.
"If your sheepie friend jumped off that cliff, would you?" Perhaps peer pressure played a role?

Wait, this was already covered in another thread. Well, kinda sorta .... ... .. .
One day, mama duck and her 9 ducklings stood on the edge of my bulkhead, approximately 3' above the water level. Mama duck was a bit apprehensive, but finally dove in. She swam about for several minutes waiting for her little ducklings to join her. They refused to jump in. 5 minutes later 1 of the ducklings jumped in, but 8 remained landlocked, obviously petrified. Another 5 minutes passed as mama duck and "black sheep" swam about, coaxing the rest. FINALLY the other 8 took the plunge, single file: plop plop plop plop plop plop plop plop.
Why do you suppose no one followed black sheep in, but they willingly filed his brother/sister? Had to mention this story as the sheep suicide reminded me of it. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
