Overview

• Fiona, dubbed "Britain's loneliest sheep", was rescued from the foot of a cliff in the Scottish Highlands after being stranded for over two years.
• The decision to rehome the ewe at Dalscone Farm, near Dumfries, sparked controversy with an animal rights group, Animal Rising, expressing concerns over Fiona being exploited as a spectacle for profit.
• Animal Rising staged a peaceful protest at Dalscone Farm. The group had planned their own rescue mission for Fiona and want her to be placed in a sanctuary, not a petting zoo.
• The farmer of Dalscone Farm, known as "Farmer Ben", vouched for Fiona's well-being and comfort at the farm. The farm plans to introduce Fiona to other animals gradually and under veterinary supervision.
• Now shorn of her overgrown and matted fleece, Fiona is said to be in good condition and well-fed despite her isolation. Her final home remains to be decided amid the ongoing dispute.
