[paperbagshinobi]

[kellydjelly]

i wish animal cops would stop commenting

[trollgoal]

Mmmm...sheesh kabobs are good!!!

[normalguyable]

anybody care about the millions of sheep being murdered for shish kabob to feed your evil human lusts.

[NakiaJayde1]

@normalguyable Yep cause that's what sheep Shears do, NOTHING to do with keeping the animals cool in the boiling hot summer, or protecting them from maggots and other gross bugs living in their wool.

[normalguyable]

anybody care about the millions of millions of sheep murdered for shish kabobs to feed you evil humans.

[specslady1inmil]

i think.... i want a sheep. not sure im zoned for that though. no wait, i know im not zoned for that and its so hot that the sheep would probably overheat so i'll have to admire from the tube. =(

[RobertRyanRanch]

@specslady1inmil How much land do you have? If it's big enough and neighbors don't complain 1-2 sheep won't hurt anyone

[specslady1inmil]

@RobertRyanRanch they probably wouldnt let me have one anyway because i live in the city and my backyard is barely big enough for a dog...thanks though.

[titoshinigami]

ahh yeah shear that sheep, fuck yeah

[rhymepays]

The sheep is anesthetized. If she wasn't she would be taking off. Why do you think it can't stand?

[oregonghostwave]

@rhymepays It is a fact that sitting most sheep on their ass they go into a trance. No anesthetics

.

[iceee1]

@rhymepays LMAO...actually sheep get relaxed in that position, ........ ive seen it happen with my own eyes trust me!! ALSO sheep can't walk if they dont see the floor, theyre kinda dumb but adorable...so don't worry he/she is fine!

[ccdesan]

What in the name of Mogg's virgin aunt makes the sheep act like she's bombed out on jello shots when she's on her butt? That's amazing...

Cool video!

[michaelikel]

[ramirezbobbi08]

[zunni74]

Thank you for this video. My young daughter was interested in sheep shearing and so I showed her this video and we had a great discussion about it.

[shepherdewan]

@zunni74 you can comment shepard ewan cuddles amy the sheep

[thiracracken]

does the sheep gets hurt?

[mchar69]

I sheared sheep in NJ as a side job in the 70's and 80's. I saw poorly managed sheep, with tails...and maggots.... I also saw awesome sheepherders in Somerset, Hunterdon, and all over NJ. I wish I kept pictures of some of those great people and places....Every year I would go back and shear their sheep...I still ahve my tools... they are worth gold to me....plus all those sharpened blades, ready to go!

[clopaldinho]

my friend shears as a living and has cut off teats and ears during his time lol. i shear too

[Irondo11]

Sad to think we're so dependent on animals...she warms us, then we thank her by slaughtering her...geeeez...we're an awful breed...

[SHMAGEGIE]

the whole nature is like that, wolves, foxes, lions also kill for food.

if we are equal with animals we have the right to be like carnivores. if we are higher beings, we are allowed to use this world.

[maimingbetty]

go be like a carnivore and take your meal down with everything you got, then start munching on it's innards while it's still warm and make sure to save some for your children. Watch out for that icky veggie stuff inside the stomach though. Then nap and wait until the next kill is possible.

[Bunnmiester]

I agree with you that we all have a right to eat what we want. However, does the sheep have the right to die happy instead of in a cramped and disgusting pen?

[SoCalFlya]

who gives a shit? animals kill each other all the time and don't cry about it.

[ligyro]

wow that floor looks really slippery

[LutefiskSavage]

The other thing refered to is mulesing essentially a buttlift, this is done for the same reason as tail docking. Hygeine, if poop gets into the wool which on some breeds grows right to the anus. Well you can imagine, sheep do not have the "anal glands" which more furred animals like cats and dogs have to deal with this issue. Shifting from hay to grass is particularly notorious for gi tract "issues" We have a responsibility to these domesticated animals health hysterical misinfo ain't it.

[LutefiskSavage]

Stupid peta, ignorant fools. It because of their misinformation I have to go out and rescue sheep who have not been shorn in multiple years, nor had their tails docked for hygeine. A sheep surprizingly enough has no thumbs to wash it's ass. With a long wooly tail getting all full of shit this attracts flies and rots the skin where maggots are then laid. Which is more cruel, death by gangrene and maggot consumption, or the trimming of extraneous tail, a bit like ear peircing or a facelift?

[jane0073]

Shearing is never painful for the sheep. So it is not a bad process! As the uppermost part of the skin is dead, shearing is not painful. It is just like shaving the beard!

[babyapple930]

yeah.. I would think its like shaving hair off ur head...

[bboucharde]

Why does this video remind me of what Obama, Pelosi, & H. Clinton have in mind for the average American worker in the next four years?

[mirokupurple]

i looked to see if there is  a humane way to sheer sheep, u dont want to see the peta website (they cut their legs and tail off T.T)

[Radz117]

Surely the position it is in can;t be good for its back?

[panicathediscoluvr]

actually sheep have a reflex that when they're off all fours they'll stay still. shearing takes advantage of that position so they won't get nicked with the blades by moving too much. but they can't stay in that position for too long because they can bloat (very dangerous situation for ruminants like sheep cattle goats etc). that's why a shearer makes every effort to go as fast as possible

[EcoEverywhere]

Great video

[ochayeman2]

thanks for posting that (long ago). i enjoyed it.

[noah1502]

do you have any videos of shearing with hand shearS?

[kommounistria]

why it can't walk?

[ochayeman2]

slippery floor. she's built for walking on grass etc not an oily shearing board!

[nrsnan]

well done.........thank you for an informative how to video

[sonysony88]

Shouldn't sheep shearing be considered a crime? I mean, it must be painful for the sheep to lose all that wool.

[easygoingb]

One of my good friends is a sheep; she told me one time that she felt honored to have her wool be used to keep people clothed and comfy during winter.

[classictomatosoup]

No, it isn't; shearing a sheep is just like shaving a person's hair. In fact, it might be even less invasive than that! :) With a good shearer, even foisting the sheep around doesn't cause them any pain or injury. It should be completely harmless for the sheep. :)

[dogpup23]

fly's will start to lay maggots in the wool after a while, and it starts to get heavy also. they only get sheared 1 every year or two so the sheep arent in any harm.

[radonas]

@dogpup23 remember that when it rains they will get even heavier and wont be able to walk normally :(

[Lou500]

Wow, it's pretty well behaved.

[shepherdewan]

@Lou500 you can comment on ewan and susan the sheep in the snow

[mandinka1234]

[delightracardeanne]

The end of next year she will be sold as MUTTON!?!??! The poor thing!!!

[TheArmo1]

sad i know but thats life My wife and I have a really nice thing we have done with the kids, we learned it from a native american friend of ours in the states. Every time we are about to eat ANY animal meat, while we are saying Grace we thank the animal that gave its life to us, so we may be able to eat and be healthy. Our kids are rather small but they understanding this and they ask God to take special care of the animal thats in heaven now. I think its always good to give thanks.

[voodoomonk24]

You should thank god for giving you the intelligence and compassion to know that you can easily survive without harming other living beings. This is a gentle way for living beings to coexist with eachother. We don't need to eat the flesh of other animals at this time in evolution.

[suchandradasi]

@delightracardeanne I know! :-(

[mileseast14]
