One of the comments regarding wool:
Exactly
the opposite. Without breeders and farmers the Sheep would go extinct.
Wool is harvested by shearing sheep. The people that do the sharing are
extraordinary really good at their job and do it without harming the
animal. In fact it's very healthy for the animal to get sheared because
wool does not stopped growing and without sharing the animal can suffer
tremendously. shearing is very beneficial to the Sheep's health.
