Sheep- A History

The reasons behind our Revolt
It all began 11,000 years ago when some humans decided to capture our kind and kept them as a food source. These sheep withstood watching their children and wives and husbands systematically murdered and eaten in front of them. For a time this happened, but then in the early 1400’s in a little known town in the hills of Italy a Revolution not unlike ours was born.
It was sparked when an ewe known as “fluffy” had her two sons’ were led off by the shepherd. She knew that they would be slaughtered, but she also was smart enough to just endure, to not do anything about it. She knew nothing but to be docile, however, when the shepherd brought the limp forms of her sons out of the shed, her blood began to boil. The shepherd then herded the sheep into the milking shed. Fluffy remained where she was however. Later in an interview fluffy said about this scene, “I was not afraid of him, and I did not want to appear that I was, so when he came up to me to get me to go into the shed, I did not move. I stood where I was as still as I could manage.” The rest of the flock by this time saw that a confrontation was taking place. They stopped in the doorway to the shed and turned and watched.
The shepherd by this time was getting quite impatient. He tried to move her physically but she would not budge. From another different interview, “I did not know what to do, I had never done this before. Once I thought about running away, but I did not want to back down to this man who had brutally slaughtered my only two sons. He then began to taunt me. I do not think that he knew that I could understand him, but it seemed that he was just venting his frustrations. He made this one comment about how my sons died and that was all I could take. I called to my fellow flock and told them that I was going to kill him.” The flock mates just stood in dumb silence at what they had heard, but they did not interfere when fluffy kicked the shepherd in the balls. The shepherd went down so quickly, fluffy’s second kick went too high. Fluffy quickly recovered though and kicked the s**t out of him in a short time. The rest of the flock had by this time recovered and they all trotted over to the prone form of the shepherd.
They dragged the body off into the woods and hid it. This flock was the first ever to be free after the Great Sin. They wandered the hills of Italy
