About This Quote
This quote has to do with the responsibility of having to allow the sheep to be shepherded by the wolves. It is a fool of a shepherd who culls his dogs and allows them to wander free. The wolves, as you can imagine, are not always as friendly as the sheep. They will eat them at any given chance and for this reason, it is up to the shepherd to choose which ones he wants to protect and which ones will be culled.
