True CB, sheep do also produce wool. But the number of sheep devoted to growing wool is small compared with the number of sheep which barely make it to adulthood before being eaten. Mutton is in short supply these days. Hogget and lamb are the market. Hogget is, I believe, sheep older than lamb, but not up to mutton maturity. Humans are not directly cannibalized [literally] though they are still treated like sheep, kept in large national pens [with pass laws to keep track of who owns which ones] and fleeced against their will. Serfdom is alive and well. I am not surprised that slavery lasted so long. Being tribally owned seems to be almost genetic. I will never see freedom. Sadly, Mqurice PS: Sheep have it good. They enjoy the happy gamboling phase and don't have to spend decades munching grass while being regularly fleeced by their masters. Humans aren't even allowed to end it all if they want out. We are stuck as serfs with no way out. People vote for it to continue. Financial freedom is some escape, but somewhat a will 'o the wisp. Go through an airport and one soon finds what personal effect one has. Not much personal affect either. Or affection.
