      Strawman. You can reduce the herd by simply not breeding a new one. No animal has to be harmed

        Your position and lack of answering the question implies to my naive mind that you do advocate for killing all the sheep that have been bred to need shearing. Do you not? I really can’t tell lol your stance seems to imply that would be where you land, but I would also call that pretty fucking ghoulish if that’s the case.

        Since we set the world up this way, now we have a responsibility to treat the animals kindly. That’s my stance. Supply and demand is technically irrelevant. Obviously I’m gonna have an issue with factory industrialized wool though… Mistreating animals, especially species we specifically messed with through selective breeding is absolutely inexcusable. And the PETA route of annihilating all the selectively bred animals is as abhorrent as factory farming to me.

          I think you’re spending too much time on these forums if this is what goes through your head in response to my comment.

          I was simply sharing a fact many people might not know about the shearing of sheep.

            Calling me chronically online has literally no effect, but since we’re gotten to the name calling stage, allow me to respond in kind:

            Next time, state your stance instead of playing shitty word games, coward. You didn’t state your stance when asked, you only responded with “what do you think”. Therefore, I told you. And now you’re trying to backpedal instead of owning the fact that you’re acting like a smug asshole instead of just changing your behavior.

            It’s a shame though, we could have had an interesting conversation about this. But I guess all you have is pointless trivia and no actual opinion. Why do you even bother to talk, then? Like I’m actually asking, why did you even bother to respond “what do you think?”?

              Yeah… I think you should take a break.

              I’m just gonna block you to help you out.

              Goodbye, and take it easy.
