Watch: Diaper-wearing sheep takes a ride on high-speed passenger train

Nov. 5 (UPI) — A diaper-wearing sheep’s journey aboard a high-speed train in Poland is going viral after video was captured by a lawmaker who was not amused by the spectacle.

Mariusz Krystian, a member of parliament for the conservative Law and Justice Party, posted video he captured aboard a PKP Intercity train on the Pendolino line between the cities of Krakow and Warsaw.

The video shows a sheep, dressed in a diaper, walking through the train’s aisle in between seats.

“I am currently on a train to Warsaw. And I wonder, is this still a passenger train, or a cattle car,” Krystian wrote.

Krystian sharply criticized the sheep’s owner for the unconventional means of livestock transport, as well as the train service for allowing it.

“Many of you wrote that the animal was taken care of! Nonsense! It was scared and stressed out. This is what ‘modern’ animal abuse looks like,” Krystian wrote in a follow-up post with a second video.

The lawmaker elaborated on his complaints in an interview with news portal Wadowice24. He said he consulted with a friend who raises sheep after his unusual train ride.

“This causes enormous suffering for such an animal. A sheep is a herd animal. It suffers in solitude. Moreover, such conditions are extremely stressful for it,” he said.

PKP Intercity rules allow for animals to be transported on its trains, provided they are wearing diapers and properly ticketed.
