It's a short parable, of course it doesn't stand up to pedantic nitpicking.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf isn't a tightly tuned narrative either - why wouldn't they just put a more reliable shepherd boy out with the sheep after the first couple of lies? But that's hardly the point of a parable/fable.

I'd say the only way this situation could ever be remotely possible was is if the country was in the final stages of collapse.
