Weather app fail this morning, dressed for the -1 not so much for the torrent of rain that accompanied it mid-ride. Trousers soaked but lucky I had my merino wool base layers on held up enough on the water but more importantly the temperature. All hail, premium sheep hair!

Do you mean to say that it’s justified to slaughter the domesticated sheep because it doesn’t have the instincts anymore to run from predators? A dog also doesn’t have the same instincts as a wild wolf and probably wouldn’t survive long in the wild either but I’m not gonna kill and eat them because of that.

no. I'm saying the natural lifespan of domesticated sheep is exactly as long as we decide.
