"We are completely deserted. Our entire job is devaluated ", says the Sardinian shepherds.

Sardinia is known when “Briatore” makes its parties for his V.I.P. friends in Smeralda coast and for its beautiful beaches in the summer. The sheep rearing has always been the first activity in Sardinia from centuries. This unusual island has more than 3.500.000 sheep, cows, goats and pigs, many more than Spain and France and has a 1,655,677 population (2006 est.) in an area of 24,090 km². Here, there are more sheep and goats than Sardinian!
