Does PETA realize that its only wild sheep that only grow enough wool for themselves and that there are consequence for not shearing a domestic sheep?

That is a wild sheep and what domestic sheep are descended from.
However as you can see from the top pic, there are reasons you have to do this.

Seriously between the unnecessary putting down of abused dogs, vegan pet food, and this, I would not want to be an animal in the care of PETA

PETA reminds me of the Green Team.

What is the point of telling loggers that they can't clean up the area they cut down? Not only does this mean that popular tourist roads (The Great Ocean Road) are now subject to the fucking horrid view of an area that's had loggers go at it, but it's also stopping them from replanting the trees they just cut down, which, yeah great, the mess can be used for ground animals as homes (read feral cats) but what about the native birds? What about our native wild life that thrive off our native flora that they're stopping us from replanting.
Oh, sorry tourists, we have no more koalas because the Green Team stopped the loggers from replanting the gum trees.
Oh, sorry recreational fishermen, the Green Team has made it illegal to catch more than one fish a day, and the only fish you can catch is carp.
Oh, sorry world, Australia is now dead because Green Team.

Fuck you PETA. Fuck you Green Team.

[Elarra]

No, that would require brain cells, which PETA has demonstrated time and time again that they don't have any.

Peta is stupid lmfao

[BaileyisDarcy]

Chickens could actually fly if they didn't eat to fatness and if people didn't clip their wings. They've just been bred to where their natural weight is now, what would have been an overweight chicken before they were domesticated.

I do get what you mean though haha

[Blonde401]

PETA are shady af. I don't trust any bullshit they come out with.

[Waffles731]

They are, also ingrid newkirk's will reads like a crazy persons manifesto

[Blonde401]

😂 true. But yeah I don't take anything peta say on board. I'd rather do my own research

[Waffles731]

Seriously,
Being turned into Newkirk Nuggets, having her feet made into umbrella stands, being skinned and turned into a purse.
Its all there

[Blonde401]

😂😂😂

It is possibly a badly worded article - The second paragraph hints at the problems of sheep having too much wool - Maybe if there was a push for humane husbandry and shearing of the sheep, the concerns of the likes of PETA could be assuaged but economic factors would kick in on the price of wool so that would be difficult - I take a lot of these articles with a pinch of the salt if the modern age has taught us anything is that a version of events can be created with a minimum of facts and a lot of creativity - Unfortunately it happens on all sides.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

They tried suing Nintendo for Mario using the fox suit... Let that sink in

[Waffles731]

They threw a fit about when you have to stab a rat in battlefield 3

[Death_of_rats]

PETA is full of nut cases, but there is a very good argument in that these animals need to be treated humanely, but thats across the board. The care of all animals that are producers needs to be improved.

and before anyone attacks me for supporting PETA. I dont... i support the increased welfare of animals.

[WhateversCheapest]

Does peta understand?
No. Whatever comes next the answer is no. PETA is a group of the dumbest people imaginable. PETA members believe keeping animals as pets is "bad" but releasing them in the wild to get eaten and abused is wonderful.

[4465loveyou5577]

There's sooooooooo much more to it than that

[Waffles731]

They took well over 50 ponds of wool off that sheep.
It can lead to death by exhaustion or heat stroke if they don't shear a sheep

[4465loveyou5577]

I think the point of what PETAs saying is that we just shouldn't breed the sheep in the first p;lace.

[cipher42]

Well we can't exactly unbreed it, so what are we supposed to do? And why is it immoral to shear sheep at all if it helps them? Like, provided the sheep is otherwise treated well, I see no reason why shearing a sheep is immoral.

[4465loveyou5577]

@cipher42 We could not breed them anymore.

It doesn't hurt the sheep to be shorn, and the material is bio-degradable and doesn't harm the environment like plastic-based insulating materials.
I remember that sheep, it avoided being shorn for years in the highlands of Scotland, IIRC.

[meatballs21]

PETA generally don't have their brains firing on all cylinders. Their solution for all the livestock left alive if they did get their way would almost certainly be euthanasia - they already euthanize thousands of cats and dogs every year.

[Lustonevida]

PETA is a really unreliable organization and doesn't really actually care for animals. Like, they don't actually make an effort to help abused animals and doesn't know much about them

[kmanpreet]

They just want to preserve nature as it is... but we are a part of that too. On the top of the food chain if I remember correctly (usually)

[Rawrzz]

PETA doesn't realize anything except "animals are cute."

[Izumiblu]

sheep, both wild and domestic are delicious as well, especially the baby ones.

[Anonymous]

PETA doesn't want people to use wool now? seriously that is so dumb , they don't even harm the sheep , there only cutting it off them , its like a hair cut

[MementoMori_]

I think we should sheer PETA members instead of the sheep.

[pooper89]

I wish people were this passionate about environmental issues

[Relentless_Hippie]

I was hoping you would provide the reasons as to why it's important to sheer the sheep.

[Waffles731]

[Relentless_Hippie]

Ah I see well thank you. Is there a reason why domestic sheep grow their wool differently? Just curious.

[Waffles731]

several thousand years of selective breeding

[Relentless_Hippie]

Okay. Thank you again. :)

[Noxifer626]

PETA, like Greenpeace, both have the vast majority of their donors come from the USA.
Go figures why they never criticize private companies from that country.

[Waffles731]

AND WRONG, they hate barnum and baileys circus, they protest Zoo New England.

[Noxifer626]

I'm pretty sure they spend 90 percent of their time ranting against China and Russia.

[palek]

They're a pack of neurotic, Godless, tree huggers

[Waffles731]

And I'd say thats an insult to neurotic, godless, tree huggers

[palek]

Hahahaha! Touché!

[Philyouup]

I guess PETA WILL HAVE TO SHOOT THEM ALL LOL by the way, Did you know their No Kill Shelters, kill more cats then the SPCA?

[ohskippy]

I'm guessing they never grew up with animals or on a farm or took care of animals so wouldn't know what is right for them

[SlightlyCrazy]

PETA takes a good message and fucks it up with extremism

[TsubasaCorrupted]

Be careful. They may throw red paint on another children hospital statue.
