Many animals suffered as a result of the Agricultural Revolution, but a few did get lucky. Sure, sheep raised for meat and milk had a tough life. But sheep raised for wool were often left to wander freely over hills and valleys, with humans carefully protecting them from wolves. Once a year, the shepherds sheared the wool—and that was it. The sheep were free the rest of the time. These lucky sheep probably thought the Agricultural Revolution was a miracle. Most horses worked hard all their lives, and when they could no longer work, they were killed and eaten. But a few domesticated horses lived almost like emperors. Especially if they belonged to an emperor!
