Animal rights activists shared the story of the sheep Pryma, which miraculously survived the shelling in Donetsk region, and then gave birth to a cub, Vuhlynka.

The UAnimals organization took these sheep back in August of last year at the request of the military Maxim, who saved Pryma after the Russian shelling of the farm.

The sheep got out of the farm in Yampol through a hole in the shelled fence. A few dozen sheep that managed to escape from the farm suffered from packs of hungry dogs, cold and shelling. Pryma fell into a large pit where other dead animals lay. How long she stayed there is unknown.

«She was very frail when the military found her. He took Prima to the base, and a week later Pryma made a surprise — she gave birth to a lamb, Vuhlynka,» the animal rights activists recalled.

It turned out that the soldier saved not one, but two lives.

Currently, the sheep is being cared for in the «Green Grove» rehabilitation center. A veterinarian worked with them for a month, because they had many skin diseases.

«Now Pryma and Vuhlynka are treated, vaccinated and well fed. Military Maxym wants to take Vuhlynka and Pryma to live with him in the village when he returns from the front. He says that he does not perceive them as food, only as friends,» animal rights activists add.

It was previously reported that the Himalayan black bear, which received a concussion in the zoo in the village of Yampil in Donetsk region due to Russian shelling, will now live in a zoo in Scotland.
