Sheep cannot survive without humans to shear them due to thick wool genes carefully bred into them dating back thousands of years.
Domestication begot dependent animals that suffer for humanities benefit.
Viewing suffering as a scale that should be lowered because "good" is the same approach that has driven vegans into being the most obnoxious faggots on social media.
Suffering is inevitable, the scale doesn't matter and in a world apathetic to suffering it is not our job to minimalize it regardless of whether or not we have the ability to function as moral agents.
The reality is, the sheep ain't going to form a revolution based on disdain for becoming genetic abominations, only other humans can do that, so moral consideration on the basis that the animal is sentient pointless.
Maybe, like, try not to force empathy on shit destined to suffer, the animal wouldn't do the same, even your house cats will eat your face when you die.
