Can sheep know anything except that the sheepdogs might bite?

Speaking strictly of sheep and sheep dogs.......I've seen dogs work sheep here and in Ireland.

No matter how often a sheep is exposed to being herded....every single time a dog makes a move at them...they will cower and run. I do not think a sheep has the capacity to ever realize they are actually not in danger no matter how often scare tactics are used on them. We see that same identical reaction in human beings.....every single election cycle. Politicians know if they jump up and say "he'll take ur gun"....that people will freak out every single time....just like sheep....even though at no time ever has anyone even tried to take a gun from them. This is where the term "sheeple" comes from.... and when speaking of a lower IQ group of people, it does apply.

One, you are a troll.

Two, here's the thing: People are not sheep. They are sentient, reasoning beings acting not out of herd survival instincts but as thinking, independent creatures.

Those who team together and blindly shout out their platform based on nothing but opinion are making a clear choice. The route they take, though it might be the same as many others, is solely up to them.

@Graylight I'm just looking for a conversation! See under!!!
@Graylight In what way aren't people exactly like sheep? Sheep follow one sheep...that is no brighter than they are....right off a cliff if the first one steps off. Why? Because sheep need an authority figure to lead them everywhere. They don't ask if this makes sense...they just follow the first one off of the cliff.

In America.. we have a man who shits (his own admission) in 14k gold plated toilets in his NY Trump Tower condo. But that man has convinced people living in house trailers on welfare that he knows them and cares about them personally and if they just step off the cliff he will make them millionaires...their lives will be day and night better. Even 4 years later...KNOWING.. hes a flat out liar....when he tells them to step off that cliff again....they will.

In what world isn't that identical behavior of sheep?

Are you just here for trolling?

@HannahSky What? No, to see if there's a conversation out there somewhere!

@Palumbo98lucrezia ah ok, usually the sheep thing is from trolls.

@HannahSky Oh! I wondered why I saw it where I did? It seemed interesting, but I don't know
