Yes, but you had an ample supply of sheep and nobody for hundreds of km around
you to see what you did with the sheep. Flight attendants don't have that
luxury. (Although FAs on Air NZ do have sheepskin covered seats to prevent
them from feeling too homesick.)

In fairness, the sheep in central australia are rather scrummy looking. Not as
enticing as the white fluffy sheep found in the south or in New Zealand,
unless you like to rough it up.
