"It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion"

This quote is a metaphor for the power characteristics between those in authority and those without. It recommends that those in power, represented by the wolf, will constantly have the final say in any choice, regardless of the opinion of the helpless, represented by the sheep. Inge is implying that the sheep can pass all the resolutions they want, but if the wolf disagrees, then their opinion will not be taken into consideration. This quote is a tip of the significance of having a voice in decision-making, and the need for those in power to listen to the opinions of those without. It also acts as a warning against complacency and apathy, as it suggests that if the sheep do not make their voices heard, then their opinions will not be considered.
