That'll teach you to go 'boaring' down the runway

Have any of you ppruners had any close calls with animals on the runway? What were your actions and the outcome? Is there any way we can try and reduce the chances of this happening again?
1) Yes - dogs at Naples, deer at Carlisle, sheep at Glenforsa (Mull) and of course the occasional Gatwick fox (!!) - and occasional illegal immigrants

2) Flexible/missed

3) ?? If it is the sheep at Glenforsa, make sure that when you do your low passes to get the blighters off the strip, you do NOT separate a mum from her lambs unlike someone I know!!
