Unusual measure in Crete, why farmers are dyeing lambs red (VIDEO)

A livestock farmer in Crete has used an unusual method to protect his flock from animal theft: he has dyed his sheep red.

According to the local group "Dia-SOS-te ti Messara", this tactic serves as a preventive measure, as painted animals are immediately recognizable and become more difficult to sell without being traced. The practice has been used for several years in the region and aims to protect herds from potential thieves.

Local media reports indicate that the reddish-colored lambs, observed in Cretan villages during February, appear to be part of this system. In this way, the animals clearly show their owner's mark, which functions as a "warning system" against theft.

The local group emphasizes that this method, although unusual and aesthetically controversial, has served the farmer to protect his livestock during a period when thefts are frequent.

The practice has attracted the attention of the media and tourists, leading to discussion not only of its effectiveness, but also of the ethical and legal aspects of using the dye on animals.
