Heroic German rozzers rescue innocent lamb from sordid brothel

Little Knocking Sheep of Horrors

The German fuzz have nabbed a 25-year-old prostitute for keeping her pet lamb in the Munich brothel where she worked.

Reuters reported that the woman and her lamb had been discovered during a narcotics raid, and it is understood she was briefly detained on suspicion of drug possession.

Unlike the wooly situation in the UK, prostitution is legal in Germany, and tourists are known to flock to Munich's red light district for the shear thrill of purchasing the affection of women.

The little lamb is named Birke, and is known to have a fleece as white as precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline ice.

The woman, who has not been named, could defend herself by claiming the lamb followed her to the brothel – which the German police have decided is against the rules, after examining a letter the woman provided, in which a vet established the conditions in which a lamb should be raised.

Those conditions did not include being inside a brothel, said Die Polizei.

Birke has since been turned over to an animal protection group, according to the police statement. The statement added that "during its short stay with police, the lamb felt comfortable and started drinking from a bottle". ®
