    sheep wouldnt exist without humanity. its also -like all other bred animal races with similar situations- serious damage for their bones to carry 10kg’s of extra fur(bred to be wooly).

    So no, this is not a win-win

      Not a win because it’s not vegan? Most people don’t share your beliefs.

      Most people are happy to use the animals we have spent thousands of years making useful

      I see this as a win/win/win - the sheep farmer gets rent for the land the panels are on, the weeds are kept down by the sheep, we get clean electricity, we get wool

      Ed. “Animal races” the word is species, races is for the variation in humans, or in fantasy it’s the humanoid species

      I suppose it would be reasonable to talk about races of sheep to talk about all the different types of sheep

        Breeds. When is animals they’re different breeds. Interestingly there’s fewer differences between human ethnicities than between different animal breeds

          Among humans I have heard that there is more variety within human races than between them

          Music says we’re the whole human race

        “No profit, not work-ey” - unless we change the system to make accumulation impossible of course

        anything else would be ignorant to compare to the commonness of parking lots - as in not worth to compare to begin with, like the handful of animal sanctuaries or whatever u’d think of here

          Maybe we live in a society that just has more goats, and goats are a bigger part of everyones lives.

          Id rather not have any parking lots if it were entirely my choice.

            look, im car free by choice - couldve owned a newer A4 avant. So we agree on the parking lots in its prevalance are too much.

            This doesnt change the fact that the whole sheep input is still absurd - no matter how romanticized the cartoony picture looks like… the realist view on your idealist idea could be “agrar solar” -> here an example picture

              There is a big ass vehicle turning the soil in that pic. I dont think thats a phase of modern agriculture typically presented in the pr photos, and its not pretty even when you do it by hand.

                i dont follow, maybe its because im not native english/american? id be happy if you could make the point clearer for me here…cause currently youre discribing the thing but there seems to be no full argument without further context?

                  Farms are ugly. Factory farms doubly so.

                  This is the ugly phase. You can see the soil being turned by the tractor in the pic linked. It looks at lesst a little less ugly a couple months after that.

                    I mean u can easily replace the farming method under it…?!

                    Never made my point for a farming method here, u can just swap this solar system with syntropic agriculture or whatever your heart desires… no?
