ELECTRIC SHEPHERDS

​

Do sheep dream of electric shepherds ?

-2020-

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, French government has decided to introduce Electric Shepherds in order to minimize contact between humans and farm animals. Drones have replaced all farmers, breeders and shepherds. This has lead to better hygiene standards, considerably less contagion risks and more efficiency in agricultural monitoring. Even traditional small scale farming has turned into fully automated animal production. Before this decision, closing city farms was considered, Gilles Amar sheepfold : La Bergerie des Malassis was threaten once again. But closing one more farm would have been a stain on the government reputation. In order to correspond to its supposed ecological and green politics, the farm is saved but led by drones.

In the drone exploitation, Gilles’ words are still written and seem to be the only trace of human being.
