The coronavirus pandemic has caused many unusual sights in cites throughout the world, including animals rarely seen in urban areas strolling around newly abandoned territory, some driven out of their natural habitats in search of food and water. YWN has previously reported on wild boars in Haifa, Paris, and Barcelona, jackals in Tel Aviv, foxes in Ashkelon, goats in Wales, monkeys in Thailand and deer in Japan.
Another bizarre sight involving animals occurred in the city of Samsun, Turkey, when a large flock of sheep filled a main street, with their loud baas disturbing the quiet that had ensued in the city streets since the lockdown.
A city resident recorded the sight and the video quickly went viral. One social media user commented on the post that he lives on the street seen in the video and that “the sound of the bells on the sheep could be heard for over an hour.”

The first pics of sheep in the city came out about on PESACH.
Now this, Pesach Sheini.
The sheep are crying “We were supposed to be korbon laShem. Aye aye aye”.
Hashem turned the world over to bring Moshiach, and obviously wanted us to unite as one .
Instead, we ended up in two groups. Those for minyanim – and those against.
Hashem cried.
But! Let us come together on Shabbos with hope that ‘This week in Jerusalem’ together with RASHBI!
This Shabbos we read about all the Yom Tovim.
A freilichin Shabbos!
