    Which probably still gives them longer lives than the average wild sheep

      A quick google:
      Wild sheep(mouflon) live 8 to 12 years in the wild.
      Farmed sheep are killed at 3 to 6 years old (excluding lamb which are killed at between 10 weeks to 6 months old)

      So that’s a resounding no.

        I mean, don’t get me wrong, humanity is definitely to blame for this, but I really doubt a domesticated sheep has the same life expectancy in the wild as a mouflon

          You mean the domesticated sheep doesn’t have the instincts anymore to run from predators? My dog also doesn’t have the same instincts as a wild wolf but I’m not gonna kill and eat them because of that.
