    Huh, I wonder if sheep used to grow less sool and humans just bred them for a lot of wool. Time to go research!

    Edit: that is exactly what happened. Wild sheep do not grow a lot of wool.

      Yes, they did. Either way, however, not shearing domestic sheep is harmful to them, and I’ve personally seen the molestation “argument” appear in response to such a statement in the past.

      Someone who’s more informed might respond with something about the selective breeding. Plenty will still respond with the same energy already seen within this thread.
