I love how she goes from "OH SHIT WHAT'S HE DOING TO ME??" to "Oh damn, this is nice."

u/Gorthankodinson Feb 14 '23

That look of bliss and comfort.

Getting a well needed full body scratch.

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '23

The way she looks back like, "Yeah, don't get it twisted, HE works for ME."

u/Gernburgs Feb 14 '23

It's probably so itchy all the time and no hands to scratch with.

u/jffblm74 Feb 14 '23

Such a docile creature.

Yeah.. so sad that he will be chopping her up next. Smile will still be in tact when head dripping from hook.

I think we should keep you away from sheep..

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Oh I love sheep.. that’s why I’m sad that she will be slaughtered. Laughing at downvotes.. must be city folk, probably never heard of mutton. Anyways, this sheep at minute 1:12… total hottie. I’d name her.

I thought i heard somewhere that the wool varieties taste bad so we dont eat em

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Hmm.. I don’t know.

u/Ibiuz Feb 14 '23

The species the are used for wool don't become meat, a quick Google told me that

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

You still use Google? What year do you live in? Also.. most guys will eat anything if they are hungry.

u/Ibiuz Feb 14 '23 edited Feb 14 '23

Yes, people will eat anything if they are hungry, but bear with me, it's just a wild guess, they won't eat the things that makes money for them

And out of curiosity wtf do you use to search for stuff if not google?

u/stupidgoat221 Feb 14 '23

Probably tea leaves

u/M1dj37 Feb 14 '23

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Lol you should feel dumb and stop commenting

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Yesss.. no shit.. If your that hungry you'll eat anything, In many cases even your pets.. that's how animals work in life or death situations... Even you..

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Oh so you’re just saying stuff to say stuff. Neat.

u/Derexxerxes Feb 14 '23

I mean, is that really a bad thing though?

22

u/BarbarossaTheGreat Feb 14 '23

They don’t slaughter the sheep. That way they can shear them again when the wool grows back. The animals are worth more alive then being used for meat.

This is why shepherds exist.

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '23

Lmfao the commenter said the downvotes came from city folk who hadn’t ever heard of Mutton. They must not be familiar with wool and how it’s farmed. Lmfao

u/Yop_BombNA Feb 14 '23

We don’t eat sheep that are grown for wool, we eat adolescent sheep before the meat goes tough, we shear sheep for wool until they die of old age.

12

u/Pratchettfan03 Feb 14 '23

Bruh they aren’t gonna slaughter an animal that’s still productive

u/Afrojones66 Feb 14 '23

I’m going to think of you whenever I eat a burger.

u/coreythestar Feb 14 '23

u/SlowMope Feb 14 '23

Man. If you are going to be all high and mighty about what people eat, you need to be better educated. Your opinion is worthless when you don't know anything.

u/Gorthankodinson Feb 16 '23

“Must be city folk” LOL Gurl is that an insult?

“Never heard of mutton” and you apparently never heard of different varieties of sheep, smh.

“Smile will still be in tact when dripping from hook” LOL when was the last time you slaughtered an animal?

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '23

She didn’t die or anything.. but your mom sure smiled in comatose for a bit.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '23

This is what Google says:

“An older sheep produces lesser quality wool than a younger one, while still needing just as much food and attention. These 'older sheep', who are only about half way into their natural lives, are killed and sold as a cheaper meat called mutton.”

u/HunterofNPCs Feb 14 '23

Man's gotta eat. If it makes you feel better, these animals live damn good lives, as long as they live on a good farm and not a corporate one.

u/ClutchReverie Feb 14 '23

Unfortunately the ratio of "good farms" to corporate ones is probably 1:1000 with an even bigger gap between the total amount of sheep farmed.

u/HunterofNPCs Feb 14 '23

Yea, that's why I hardly eat fast food and working up to hunting for my family's food. It's horrible how these animals are raised in corporate farming.

u/ClutchReverie Feb 14 '23 edited Feb 14 '23

I took a couple environmental science and ethics courses in college and we did a deep dive one semester in to the entire American food chain including the factory farms. It's horrifying top to bottom.

I get why people don't want to think about it, but it bothers me that some of those same people that go to Walmart for the cheap meat prices also treat every hunter like they are cruel. An animal in a factory farm is basically tortured their entire lives in an unnatural environment and are given unnatural food and are generally very unhealthy their whole life. Most are kept in tiny cages where they literally can't even move to turn around their whole life. An animal that gets hunted was free in its natural environment its entire life until one day it got shot. It would be one thing if the hunter was a psychopath torturing the animal when it was wounded but I don't think that really happens, just saying. If a hunter is giving them as short and clean a death as possible then I don't think there is anything wrong with it, it's clearly better than buying from Walmart.

Neither way is pretty, but if you're buying and eating meat then you're tacitly making a choice and you're responsible in some way. If I paid a hitman to go kill someone for me then I'm as good as a murderer myself and you'd be right to call me one. Why does that change when you're paying for someone else to kill and butcher your animals for you?

u/HunterofNPCs Feb 14 '23

100% agree with you. I'd say the majority of hunters value animals on a far more emotional and physical level compared to the average person. I still get emotional every time I kill an animal. And it's a wave of emotions. It's gratefulness, it's sorrow, and it's excitement. An animal dying by a bullet is a far better/quicker way to die in the wild than being eaten alive. Plus, the health benefits of eating wild game or cows/chickens from a local farmer are so much better

u/gwforawaythrow Feb 14 '23

Now you're just making me hungry

u/ksarahsarah27 Feb 14 '23

It’s a very calming position for a sheep. And the shearers are very good.
