For obvious reasons, you can’t technically ‘own’ your sheep under New Zealand law. Otherwise you’d be liable for its upkeep and welfare. And there’d be some messy tax issues!
Instead, MyKiwiSheep lets you ‘adopt’ a real live New Zealand sheep – without any of the messy stuff. As far as the MyKiwiSheep team goes, it is your sheep. But we do the looking after it part for you. As far as the law is concerned, we are responsible!
