[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6666569, member: 63856"] The thing is, "domesticated" livestock are like people today, they have absolutely no reason to work as one, that instinct has been lost (until there is chaos) From an outsiders POV, the UK is a prime example of this: "every bugger for themselves" until war breaks out and suddenly there's unity. War's over, everyone forgets the need to be a tribe and goes back to doing what suits, which mainly consists of splitting off into groups and playing games. This is what you have in your sheep, no pressure, or at least not enough pressure often enough to reboot that "siege mentality" or "herd instinct" that is actually in there somewhere. They roost at the highest point to prove that they do actually know something's out there, but by day they are off to Barbados, and the Corbyn voters are off thru the fence because THEY AREN'T A TEAM. So you need to mess with them, not by building a wall but by altering their behaviour. Keep their fluffy little heads full of confusion, and grass. Keep them all pulling in the same direction (grass again) and sometimes you can even bounce them on again before 6 have lifted their heads - that really screws their minds up It's when they're idle, that's the problem. When tasked, they revert to "herd". [/QUOTE]
