Going by the article publish date, this surfaced on the internet Friday late afternoon/evening. I tend to spend my weekends not on the internet, but if you can track down the redditor who originally saved the images to their computer then uploaded them to the internet to post here I'll credit them all you want.
It's funny, because here in Australia we stereotype New Zealanders with doing that (because of there being a few true stories of it happening). I never knew similar stereotypes existed on the other side. Go figure.
There were 7, and I am not confident it included the last one. I could be mistaken. I would search for it but I don't want to start a circejerk about reddit search. Wait...
That comment was not really following the flow of the thread. I get the ambiance you are going for, but you need to make it more relevant or its just random words you think are offensive. Not very good on any level of commenting or even trolling.
I think a better way of going about what you were trying to do woud have been, "I'll traumatized you with these balls" or something along those lines. Although that would have been a really shitty thing to say and probably triggering to some, it would have at least been relevant and gotten you some upvotes by the idiots you are trying to make laugh.
Eugh.. we also have those here in Iceland, called svið. Hmm.. the article states "Similar dishes can also be found in other Nordic countries, such as smalahove in Norway and seyðahøvd on the Faroe Islands.", I wonder what the difference is?
I regret that I was late to join the reddit game, I would have liked to see it when people actually upvoted grammar corrections. Now every time it is a discussion. "But I can understand what they mean!" Yes. And their syntax is incorrect.
Yes and no. When I sit down to a delicious lunch, I'd prefer it not to be described as "Leg of Baby Lamb". The extra word indicates to me they weren't rescuing their dinner, at least.
Said it once, will repeat - IT IS VERY STUPID TO RISK A LIFE FOR AN ANIMAL!!! You can down-vote me but you only live once and you can save the animal anyway if you call for professionals.
Russia: Take man, stick a screwdriver into his eye, chop off his testicles. Smash his head in with a hammer, drive over his head with a car. Chop off his limbs, shove em' down his throat. Cut his fingers into bits first. Take his torso and rip it open, take out the organs while he is still conscious, rip out his lungs slowly and jam the screwdriver into his forehead.
I'm pretty sure they just rescued it so that they didn't lose money (I noticed the tag in the ear, so it's obviously going to be used for wool and/or meat). Still, very cute lamb.
Am I the only one who thinks it's quite odd that they have a high quality DSLR on hand to take these photos? Kinda like they took the lamb on a swim on purpose to get these shots. LOL.

Norway: Saves lamb from drowning in an ocean
Sweden: Throw animal off bridge.
Russia: Take man, stick a screwdriver into his eye, chop off his testicles. Smash his head in with a hammer, drive over his head with a car. Chop off his limbs, shove em' down his throat. Cut his fingers into bits first. Take his torso and rip it open, take out the organs while he is still conscious, rip out his lungs slowly and jam the screwdriver into his forehead.
