In Australia, sheep exist without close supervision, as shepherds haven’t existed for over a century. The work was too boring, too isolated, and too underpaid, and better jobs or a promising gold strike were always on offer. Eventually, farmers couldn’t afford them – at the same time, farmers were fencing in their properties, they discovered that as long as their sheep had food & water, they pretty much looked after themselves.

After I told him the country, his eyes got big, and he told me that wasn’t good at all. When I asked him why, he replied with utter conviction, “Because there’s sheeps in the country, and some sheeps is mean.”Something else to add to your list do doubt.
