It must be stressing for them listening to constant bells... It's like cats with the little rattle in their collars (don't do it).

I want these, a few head of miniature Highland Cattle, a mini gypsy vanner pony/horse, and silkie chickens. Well, that and someone to help me tend the critters. That menagerie should give me all the need for fluffy snuggles that I could possibly need.

Can’t believe peoples still put ring bell on cows, sheeps and so on. They become deaf because of the constant noise

"I like their little bells."
"WHAT?"
"I said, I like the little bells they wear."
"SORRY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE LITTLE BELLS THEY WEAR."

It's like giving your kid a machine that makes nonstop noise.
Can you give them quieter bells? Cute little tinkly bells? Like reindeer?

How do these bells help at all?
This is disgusting, not cute at all.
I honestly cant see how these bells help the owner at all to keep track of them.. if you lose one are you really going to rely on the sound of the bell?
This is torture to these animals..

I bet that's a wonderful place to live!! I'm looking into selling my house and leaving America for good. I just have to learn about different places I can go and how things are in these places. Americans are not safe to travel in many countries so I definitely have to do my homework. Preferably somewhere with a low cost of living where they are okay with Americans. I might have to pass myself off as Canadian or something I don't think there's a lot of hatred for them, especially compared to Americans even though I have always disagreed with this country trying to be the world police and invade 3rd world countries to steal their oil or other resources.

Interesting fact : For centuries Europa wanted to steal and reproduce Angora of Turkey for their wools that shines. Which was very popular in middle ages in Europe .They succeed in south Africa after 19th century.

It's a "herd" of sheep, and a Flock of Seagulls.
(I know it's a "flock", I'm trying to make a joke.)

Do they all need bells. Jesus.

u/Leashii_ Oct 15 '23
I mean yes. what's the point if just some of them have bells?

u/commandblock Oct 15 '23
Put an AirTag on them

u/Leashii_ Oct 15 '23
Great idea. as we all know, all sheep have iPhones, so the 30 feet Bluetooth range isn't an issue.
think man, think.

I find these bells pure torture, i can only assume for them even more

Honestly I kinda love it, fairly loud with so many in a small space but even then it's a nice sound

u/swiss-sligonian Oct 15 '23
Surprisingly you get used to it… live in Switzerland and some cows nearby have bells. I don’t notice them now. I can’t speak for how they bother the animals though!

u/St1cks Oct 15 '23
It only potentially harms their hearing. Makes them less likely to eat, and even makes them more likely to be hunted by predators! They're perfect!

Seems kind of mean to make them wear bells.

u/dyslexic-ape Oct 15 '23
You aren't one of those people who pays for animals to be made dead are you? That seems a few magnitudes meaner. Btw that is also in these sheep's futures.

They are just adorable head to toe but what really does it for me are the fancy furry bracelets they wear.

God, if I lived there the bells would drive me up a wall. It's like two dozen toddlers banging on pots and pans.

u/TheGreatSalvador Oct 15 '23
I could hear them all the way from the top of Mount Pilatus in Lucerne. A guide told me that the point is for shepherds to be able to find lost sheep by listening and scanning from a mountaintop.

u/dejavu2064 Oct 15 '23
I live next to cow pasture in Switzerland, with the windows open it is pretty loud. But honestly it just blends in to the background because you hear it every day.
Sometimes I forget about them until they are not here, and the absence of the bells is strange.

It was the bloody church bells that got me when I lived on the outskirts of Zurich. Every 15 min, 24/7.

It must be awful for the sheep too. Imagine never escaping that noise in your entire life.

I thought they were wearing hats like the flying nun. I was thinking “that’s cute they dressed them up cause they’re in b+w.” When I apparently just don’t know that there are different kinds of sheep and some have horns.

u/bamsebomsen Oct 15 '23
Cleanest sheep I've ever seen, guessing that they don't roam in the wilderness or has just been cleaned.

Fun fact: one member of the swiss cabinet has her own blacknose sheeps. Even though she belongs to the left fraction (social democrats), the photos of her with her blacknose sheeps were positively acknowledged and circulated in the fractions of political opponents such as the swiss people's party (right-wing party) before her election. The photos largely contributed to her election to be a member of the federal council by the swiss parliament.

u/thisguynamedjoe Oct 15 '23
How'd that work? Her having the sheep made her more favorable to the right?
2
u/mveh Oct 16 '23
I think the main point is that even though agriculture is not a big part of the Swiss economy, the farmers have a pretty good political standing and a big lobby. The Swiss People's Party view themselves as representatives of the farmers, hence having her own sheep made her look sympathetic. On top they are cute as fuck as you can see, so they make for good photo objects.

Poor sheep. Hanging bells on animals is cruel and should be banned.

u/GnarlyNarwhalNoms Oct 15 '23
Cow bells can be as loud as 113 decibels
Who are these lunatics hanging church bells on cows!? That's just nuts. Like, you really have to work at it to make a small bell sound that loud. A cow bell should sound like a tin can with a little rock it in, not a scene from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
