No, this isn't a "religious thing".
Sheep go through life minding their own business, even helping others at times. Because peace is their mantra, they are existentially ineffectual. Unfortunately, sheep rely on others to provide for their safety and freedom.
Wolves are scumbag opportunists (THE worst of humanity): terrorists, murderers, rapists, ***** molesters, corrupt politcians, and other people who take advantage of those who cannot protect themselves.
Sheep dogs are the ones who are demonized by the sheep, who SHOULD be blaming the wolves! Sheep dogs join the military or the police department. Sheep dogs don't let some POS beat his wife, girlfriend, or ********. Sheep dogs refuse to let evil, lies, and complete BS go unchallenged in real life or even on ********! Sheep dogs don't expect something for nothing; they earn their keep and place in life.
