Sheep have been domesticated for over 10,000 years and require regular shearing to continue living, otherwise their wool will overgrow and they eventually won’t be able to eat or move.

Because humans breed them to be dependent on us.

Yes, for over 10,000 years. It sounds like you think we should kill all domesticated sheep…

I’m all for the humane treatment of animals, but domestic sheep need to be sheared or they end up like Baarack here. Meanwhile, wool is a sustainable textile source, unlike synthetic fibers.

If we want domestic sheep to live good lives, it requires humans embracing sustainable practices quickly to address the climate crisis.

Well it’s too late for that, we already changed these animals to be unable to to live without us.
