Come on APOS and other organizations are trying TO KEEP SHEEP ON THE MOUNTAIN, SRD has to wake up and manage all animals. Even the politically sensitive ones.

LOl that’s kind of funny. I suppose if people were not afraid of losing something there wouldn’t be 1100 posts!
I see you have joined the board (at least with your current handle) recently. You may not have had time to read all the posts from the 3 sheep threads. Sheep are a very limited resource and the simple fact is there is not enough to go around. On a ‘general tag’ residents are at about 4-5% success rate and non-residents are currently at 53% success rate. From those numbers you can see why the resident hunters do not want their piece of the pie to shrink, and really you can’t blame them for that.
