Shhh, in my mind, they use them for wool.
Even then, what happens when its not economically viable to use them because of age?
Edit: Downvotes won't wash away the guilt btw
Sheep will grow wool til they die. Sheep get increasingly gamey tasting the older they get, so most people won't eat the meat.
It gets sent to a farm where it will... Oh, wait a minute...
It is morally and ethically wrong to belittle your spouse, but we don't all fuck sheep /joke
What do you propose then?
Don't blame the player. Blame the system. The farmers gotta eat, man. (I don't mean factory sheep farms, btw. I mean the kind of open farms we have here in Slovakia.)
Better I eat them than some coyotes
What how dare you suggest we kill sheep? Take my downvote you dirty liar! /s
