This comes in the wake of a news report about a ram's rampage against cyclists on the Lake Dunstan Cycle and Walking Trail.
Apparently, a number of cyclists on the trail had their bikes rammed by the excited male sheep.
The trail passes through a working farm and riders are cautioned to keep their distance from livestock.
However, it appears one ram had gone rogue resulting in some cyclists being injured.
Auckland 'man' Ben Wolliscroft said his group's meeting with the ram had seen them repeatedly charged and their bikes hit.
"[He was] very aggressive and not easy to get rid of."
However, it appears the trail managers - being good and practical southern men - had a quick solution: they shot the ram!
It seems the dearly departed ram had similar dislikes to that of the Hound - cyclists and Aucklanders!
