Farmers produce what their customers demand and recently mutton and wool is a difficult sell. The worldwide move away from synthetic fibres may reverse that in time but don't hold your breath on that one.
Sheep are great, and should be encouraged more. Its absolutely ridiculous they are wanting to sting farmers in the pocket for having sheep!
What about all the benefits from wool? Grow our wool industry and use it for insulation and other clothing products and get away from synthetic oil based products instead win-win!
Sheep are part of nature, they are not harming the climate, neither are the millions of wilderbeast in Africa.
And what the fuck have sheep got to do with wilderbeasts?
Im comparing them to our cows and any other "ruminants" we have here
