    … sheep have to be shorn or they get mangy and get infestations/infections. Your wool suit isn’t hurting any animals, sheep’s aren’t killed to harvest the wool, it’s just cut off with clippers like when you get a haircut

      Sheep are bred to grow more wool than they would in the wild to their own detriment. Wool farmers are not their friends.

        That breeding was done thousands of years ago. No need to torture poor sheep just because you’re “vegan”. Buy a bloody wool jumper today!
