Because sheep are kind little creatures. They never hurt anybody and all they do - literally - is eat pasture all day and be cute. They represent goodness and patience, though I don't really get the patience thing.
It's also a bit of an ironic thing because the really religious part of my family is always going on about me not being part of the "flock" (because I'm not baptized and because I wasn't brought up as a Nice Christian Girl). Also, the whole black sheep thing. I've always related to the poor little black sheep who's left behind and SEGREGATED. Let us take a pause to feel sorry for me.
I KID.
Also, on my trip to Germany in 2008 I saw a small flock of sheep just kinda chillin' on the snow and being cute and stuff. They're really docile, and when I tried approaching them they were like, "SHIT WTF IS THAT IS THAT AN UNKNOWN HUMAN LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE." but this ONE lamb was all like "Why're y'all so scared of her? Look at her in those white ski pants. She doesn't even know what snow is, poor thing." and just kinda stood there next to me while I patted it.
I just like sheep, really. They're cute, they're kind, they're helpless when facing wolves.
So am I, I guess.
I mean, who isn't helpless when facing wolves?
Have I mentioned sheep are really, really cute? Click here and here for a really cute shot of lambs.
[EDIT]
Sheep stay together, and there's the whole idea of being a "sheep", or someone who tends to follow someone blindly, being stupid, etc. I personally don't think that sheep are stupid or blind followers. I think they embody the idea of togetherness. They stick together to protect each other. I like that.
Also, Sheep go to heaven
