u mite just think that sheep are the cute fluffy things that say baa and wander around the field all day but sheep are actually a danger 2 themselves because if the fall on their backs they cant get back up and will sadly die so be a friend 2 the sheep population and the next time u see a sheep lying on its back pleeeeeeeeeeeez go and find the farmer or even better role it over yourself it will have morechance of surviving them!!!!!!sheep are also better off getting their fluff shaved off in summer because if they overheat it can kill them it grows back for winter so it is definately not cruel i mean its practically saving the lives of hundereds of sheeo every year around the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
