Why would a hospital need sheep pt2

Well, the answer is not:

 

1. to cut grass – this would make sense to people who have to cut weekly. Here, though, animals aren’t fenced in – cattle roam the streets anyway. Plus it may not rain 9m/yr. So, if the grass does need cutting for cosmetic purposes (very rare & not a high priority), it’s done maybe 2x/yr.
2. Scare off monkeys – I wish.
3. Milk – have not heard of that one. Water buffalo is the staple here.
4. Meat – Nope. A handful of sheep wouldn’t do much for a hospital of 200 beds.
5. Bait for wild animals that would otherwise eat the humans – Nope. There is an uncontrolled street dog population available.

 

There is a “scientific” reason. Those who have lab experience, even microbiology lab class, have an edge. Although, I did not figure it out. Someone told me. J And it was spoken as if it was the most reasonable and obvious thing for a lab person to know. This is way more hints than I had.
