I found this a little hard to swallow, it was a stupid stunt, and I hope the youngsters who did it grow up soon, but one wonders, if this live one was a poor sheep, how would they describe the dead ones that they sell?
The RSPCA has hit out at pranksters who put a live sheep in a shopping trolley and wheeled it into a supermarket in south-east London.
Two youths were recorded on CCTV carrying out the prank in Bexleyheath just after 0300 GMT on Friday.
Staff at the Asda store have named the animal Rob. It is thought to have been rustled from a farm near Gravesend in Kent.
The RSPCA said it was a "stupid, irresponsible stunt".
Joe Lock, manager of the store, said: "We were shocked to discover that a poor sheep had been wheeled into our store."

this is very funny!!!!! did the sheep die no.. get a grip. by the time it was sent back to its flock it would have not known better, sheep get them selves into a lot worse situations (real life or death situation) in the own enviroment, normally sheep leave asda in prepack or in frozen bits................... oh how terrible! ps. on a farm have pet ram plus goats.. and 200 yews and a tup.

i no its cruel on the sheep. just a thought maybe they were trying to cut the middleman out by bring the fresh produce directly to the store. also helping to save on transport cost as well. well they do say everythings fresh at asda on there adverts on tv every commercial break..
