        Will it make for happy sheep? Unless they have the veterinarian capacity to take proper care of these 6,000 sheep then they are simply being exploited rather then protected.

      exactly. we should have all our animal agriculture be seperate in more factory style conditions. These sheep should be penned and fed off feed like normal.

      You can have sheep without solar or sheep with solar. Not having sheep isn’t an option on the table.

      Either be happy about the solar or don’t comment.

        Actually no sheep is absolutely an option.

        But Lamb is delicious and wool is a renewable natural fibre that doesnt shed microplastics… so yeah sheep and green energy please.

        I bet a lot of the animals in animal agriculture wish they were dead. This isn’t a good argument imo
