    never mind that they often get cut quite badly because the shearers are on such a tight deadline.

      Once again, they are not skinned alive to make a sweater so not exactly what my ex pictured happened for yarn products.

          Your non-sequitur is bordering on badgering at this point. We got it the first time. You’re smarter and kinder than us.

          Natural lifespan? What natural life span? Sleep are unable to survive in the wild for more then a few years before the amount of wool they grow will cause their bodies to cook themselves. They are dependent on humans sheering them to live out their “natural” lifespan. Ultimately they, along with all animals we have breed for service are not natural any more.

            yeah, because we bred them that way. there are nautrally occurring sheep that don’t need to be shorn all the time, and they do just fine.
