Absolutely. Without sheep, the shepherds would have nothing to shear, and
no one to sell to, i.e., no transfer of wealth. Actually, if there's a
religion, it's money. We worship the stuff, can't get enough of it, bow
down before those who have it, measure everything and everyone against
it. Imagine if sheep stopped worshiping money...

Which leaves out just about everybody. It's the sheep that make the world
go round.
<SARCASM> It's the shepherds and the wolves. The sheep are there to
be shorn and turned into lamb chops.
