Better Than Sheep?
Sheep, sheep, sheep. What can I say about sheep?1) Sheep need water to survive, but they can't tell clean water from dirty water.
2) Sheep need food, but can't tell good grass from poisonous plants.
3) Sheep will graze the same land over and over until it becomes eroded.
4) When sheep are attacked, they often freeze instead of running or crying out.
5) Conversely, sheep can panic at sudden noise and run straight into danger.
6) Sheep can drown in swift water when their wool becomes waterlogged.
