Sheep are kind of terrifyingly woobie in the real world, at least when they're young. I had the good fortune to visit the Hebrides just after lambing season about 12 years ago, and so there were lambs everywhere. They bounce instead of running or walking, they want to investigate everything so their mothers are always chasing after them baa-ing out warnings, and they all have huge soulful blue eyes. It wasn't enough to get me to stop eating lamb, but I can certainly understand why so many people have that reaction.
It was a great experience to have inform my choices in illustrating the sheep in this cartoon, obviously.
