Sheep : lawnmowers of tomorrow
In France, plenty of towns are replacing their lawnmowers with sheep to be eco-friendly. The town hall of Paris uses sheep to trim the grass along the ring road and moves them from a lawn to another to make sure they will cut all the grass within the year.
The ring road of Paris is known for having a very bad air quality, therefore people living around there have lung diseases or cancers. Then a question can be asked: Will sheep have health problems because of the pollution?
Clearly, sheep are not immunized against lung diseases or cancers but they don't live long enough to catch it. Nevertheless, to ensure that the air quality doesn't have a bad effect on them, they are monitored by a doctor.

Sheep : lawnmowers of tomorrow
In France, plenty (more natural: 'a lot'; 'plenty' really means 'more than strictly necessary') of towns are replacing their lawnmowers with sheep to be (more natural: 'so as to be') eco-friendly. The town hall of Paris (more natural: 'Paris city council') uses sheep to trim the grass along the ring road and moves them from one lawn (better: 'area of grass'; 'lawn' really implies an area of grass associated with a particular building, such as a house or club) to another to make sure they will cut all the grass within the year.The ring road of Paris (more natural: 'the Paris ring road') is known for having (a) very bad air quality, therefore people living around there have lung diseases or cancers. So, a question can be asked: Will the sheep have health problems because of the pollution?
Clearly, sheep are not immunized against lung diseases or cancers but they don't live long enough to catch them. Nevertheless, to ensure that the air quality doesn't have a bad effect on them, they are monitored by a doctor (probably 'a vet'?).
Very interesting article! I think more councils should do this.

Sheep: the lawnmowers of tomorrow
In France, plenty of towns are replacing their lawnmowers with sheep to be eco-friendly. The town hall of Paris uses sheep to trim the grass along the ring road and moves them from a one lawn to another/one lawn to the next/lawn to lawn to make sure they will cut all the grass within the year.The ring road of Paris is known for having a very bad air quality, therefore many [I assume not all of them do] people living around there have lung diseases or cancers. Then a question can be asked: W will the sheep have health problems because of the pollution?
Clearly, sheep are not immunized against lung diseases or cancers, but they don't live long enough to catch it contract them/develop them [because these diseases aren't contagious, 'catch' isn't really the right word]. Nevertheless, to ensure that the air quality doesn't have a bad effect on them, they are monitored by a doctor.
