Summary
The incident happened on Friday night on a mountain meadow on the Eggerhorn (2503 meters) in the Binntal valley south of the Rhone. The weather service SRF Meteo had already registered 26,000 lightning within hours by Thursday evening. A lightning strike in the Alps killed 97 black-nosed sheep in the Swiss canton of Valais.
Furthermore, Such a thing was previously unusual, but today necessary to protect them from attacks of large predators, said an affected sheep breeder of the Agency Keystone-SDA. Black-nosed sheep are a typical Swiss breed in Valais with spiral horns, a flush white fur and black parts around eyes, mouth and nose, among others. People use their wool and meat, and they are landscapers because they eat off steep meadows in the mountains and keep them short.
