Leave it to the humans to change the species from naturally shedding their coat to breeding them so they can make money. The animals are smarter than the humans these days!

@@carolschurter3737 That happened long before human's had the technology to completely change a species. There must have been some sheep, who didn't naturally shed.

Thank God this hiker came alone. Poor sheep. Would of been hot in Summer.

The people who say that are ignorant to the fact that sheep have been bred to the point that they need to be sheared. Sheep literally need human intervention in order to survive and thrive.

It’s good for the sheep too. When it’s cold, the wool helps keep them warm. When they get sheared before summer, they can withstand the heat better.

NOBODY thinks or says that. Jesus Christ.

@@judyscheiber3661 you'd be surprised. I've seen people refuse to wear wool due to animal rights issues they have with it.

True.

The sheep was neglected. Livestock requires humans to tend to them. If livestock does not have human care, it is neglected. Sheep are not wild animals. It's a miracle it survived. And on truth, it may or may not have been wondering around for years without human care. Seriously doubt that it fended off predators for years

@@kima3565 He wouldn’t really have had to fend off too many predators, except for humans. Australia is home to a lot of dangerous flora and fauna, but the niche for large carnivores on the continent hasn’t really been filled since the extinction of the marsupial lion.

Sheep produce a natural oily substance called lanolin. Lanolin covers the wool fibers of their coats, acting as a natural lubricant that prevents fibers from locking together. Lanolin also repels water, which makes sheep somewhat waterproof when they're out in the rain. This is good for sheep, since it prevents their wool from getting soaked and waterlogged, which would be very uncomfortable since they have so much wool!

Neglected in the title gets those clicks!

It’s neglected because the sheep was modified. Did you hear the narrator mention that natural sheep shed their own wool.

@@tcportis7542 most sheep alive today are breeds modified for wool production (instead of hair sheep that shed their coats). Them not shedding isn’t neglect, not shearing them IS neglect. The issue here is that Chris likely got separated from his herd, he wasn’t willfully neglected by humans.

@@haleypowell9060 Yes, I understand. It’s sad that we as humans have modified nature causing a natural disruption in a sheep’s process. Had we not modified/ kept breeding, sheep would be able to shed naturally. Without relying on humans.

@@tcportis7542 Yes, but the owner has lost him. Therefore, he could not look for it's wellfare.

@IAmaPersion Sheep used to be able to shed all that excess naturally, but humans - being the asshats that they are - bred that out of most domesticated sheep so they wouldn't lose all the wool or have to go pick it off bushes, etc.

Amen!

@@r.mcbride2837 Ha Ha asshats! Yes i never knew. I thought i was a gumboot but im actually an asshat! 😃

R. McBride I dunno about you, but i'd rather sheer the wool off the sheep, instead of picking it off the ground a piece at a time in random areas in the field. It makes work a whole lot easier.

Please stop the b.s... it was bad farming regardless, you have to keep count. Stupid idiots.... SMH

@@thebrotherfromanotherplane297 For a sheep farm to be profitable farmers need to have literally hundreds of animals. Visit a real sheep farm in Australia or New Zealand some time, then you might get an idea of what you're talking about.

Thank you, from the replies I understand sometimes sheep can escape, so possibly not abuse. I doubt a farmer would willingly neglect sheep with such luxurious wool.

Yeah I figured he was a runaway

@@thebrotherfromanotherplane297 I'm thinking your an indoor cat.

The sheep you seen in pastures aren't wild. They're domesticated, which means people have been choosing which ones to breed for years. This makes sheep more docile and creates longer wool. As a result, the sheep have lost (over thousands of years of selective breeding) their ability to lose their winter wool every spring, like wild sheep do. So domestic sheep must be sheared. And yes, this means domestic sheep are GMO, genetically modified organisms. Most of the plants and animals humans use are GMOs. They've slowly been changed over years to suit humans. If you grow a plant that makes good fruit, and you take seeds from that yummy fruit and grow them, you get more fruit. Of course. But you wouldn't grow any of the seeds from a fruit that tasted bad, or from a plant that didn't grow well. So over thousands of years, plants are slowly chosen for their best properties, as opposed to just growing naturally (though in fact nature selects the best as well, but humans do it faster). You'd breed a cuter smarter dog before you'd breed a mean ugly one. If you live in a cold place, you won't breed puppies that have thin fur and die easily of the cold. Very slowly this creates separate breeds, and it works for all living things. This is genetic modification. There is nothing wrong with it. Nature does it, humans do it.

I was wondering about his musculature development too.

Hey hey hey..........89lbs.......

It can also have a negative impact on their joints.

Terry Beveridge Some sheep breeds do have self-shedding wool or technically hair. Katahdins, American Blackbelly and Barbados are some

Banana Guinness has actually dropped some records and doesn’t accept many relating to animals for this reason.

Agreed!!!

@@knmplans People eat bicycle?

@@aziris7257 yes. I sometimes can't believe humans have survived as long as they have.

Domesticated sheep only grow this much fur because humans have selectively bred them to be more profitable in the wool industry...

🩷🩷🩷🩷🐐

Peta: "If wooloo can survive with all the fluff so can they!"

What? Please make sense.

A lot of these comments are really dumb and completely miss the point why some people are against the use of wool. The only reason why certain breeds of sheep need to be sheared is because humans bred them to be that way. They're unnatural, and it's wrong to continue breeding a species that needs to be sheared or they will suffocated/starve under their own wool. Shearing does hurt sheep, a lot of them are accidentally cut in the process. They are many other alternatives to wool.

@@Alekkssandra Shearing does not normally hurt the sheep. It all depends on how they shear the sheep. What tools, etc. Most farmers who own sheep as livestock don't let their sheep overgrow their wool to extreme extents, so in most cases they can use buzzers. The traditional shears can harm sheep, but that is all based on the skill of the shearer. No one should imply that the sheep is defective because it is predetermined to need to be sheared. There are farmers who honestly take care of their animals, and in the cases that they do treat their animals ethically I can only imagine that said animals feel like they're loved by their owners. Yes, we purposefully bred sheep to yield more wool. And on their own they would not be able to survive well in nature. But that is because it is domesticated. Most domesticated livestock kind of can't survive on their own. That's kind of why we call them domesticated, they now depend on us to care for them. And sheep are one of the more expensive domesticated animals, so I would hope people treat their sheep well, and safely shear them with properly scheduled treatment. I honestly don't see the problem with harvesting wool from sheep as long as the sheep is happy. No one I know that owns livestock like sheep as a profession lets something like this happen to it. Most of them form a bond with their animals, especially with sheep, because there's much more cleaning and grooming involved in the trade. As you continue caring for a living thing, you gradually care more about that living thing. Especially if you're livelihood hinges on their wool. It is symbiotic relationship. Finally . . . What you say is kind of vague. You acknowledge that domesticated sheep have been bred to yield more wool, and you only have negative thoughts, none of them open minded I must say, towards shearing, and we both know they have no means of shearing themselves in nature. So here's what I got from this. "Shearing almost always hurts the sheep" even though that varies, but only slightly because most farmers use tools and techniques to prevent harm to the sheep. Then you go on to say that they're unnatural. If your issue is the selling of wool after altering the sheep to be unable to survive in nature, then I can kind of get that, but then you provide no actual solution to the issue. Yeah, if you had only one as a pet, then you wouldn't need to sell the wool to make ends meet. But most sheep are livestock specifically for harvesting wool, so good luck with telling people who's job *is literally taking care of a creature that cannot take care of itself, to not sell its wool.* If you had, like, 20 sheep, that needed feeding, cleaning, shearing, etc., then you would have no other choice than to sell their wool, and there is no problem with that as long as the sheep are happy and healthy. So you know what I hear when you say wool is a problem, provide no actual solution for caring for the animals, and then proceed to call them unnatural? That your solution is basically to let them die, because they're essentially unable to survive in the wild without a human caretaker, who will most likely need to sell their wool in order to care for the sheep. If you have a problem, then provide a realistic solution. Not say it's defective by nature, so it shouldn't exist. That is the most unrealistic point of view anyone could have. If you think something bred to produce more hair shouldn't exist simply because nature would kill it in a few days, then what are your opinions on Samoyed Huskys? All you have to do is brush them for a few hours, and you get piles of fur that you can sell as pillow stuffing or something. Seeing as your name is Free Vegan, I bet you'd call that cruelty as well. "I brush my dog literally for hours, I'm such an evildoer". "I shear my sheep, and sell its wool, so I can afford to feed its mommy, daddy, and siblings, so I can take over the entire tristate area". "I milk cows because I love taking food from hungry babies". Like, c'mon man. You know you're just one of those people no one can debate with because the facts aren't facts anymore. Yes, there is such thing as animal abuse, but we both know it's not the only thing that exists in this world, so quit being a Picky Peta. Provide a valuable solution, or get yeeted son.

Also, it's not like I didn't understand what this video was about. In fact, my joke actually proved a point here. This sheep would have suffered if no one sheared it. It was suffering. Someone helped it, by shearing the wool off. Their own genetics can be their downfall, but we just need to take care of them. It's not cruel to shear sheep.

@ALANSHEARERISGOD Agreed!

@ALANSHEARERISGOD Imagine you entered an amazing palace. As you walk through the hallway, you are struck by the size of the building and decide to explore by opening the nearest door. As you enter the room, you see hundreds of chairs and tables arranged like a classroom. Suddenly you lose any motivation to explore the other rooms. You decide to leave the palace and head off to meet your friend at a local coffee shop. As you drink coffee with your friend he asks you, “So what did you see in the palace?” You reply, “Just a room full of tables and chairs arranged like a classroom”. Your friend then asks, “Why didn’t you see the other rooms?” You reply by saying, “There’s no point, there was nothing to see. If this room was full of chairs and tables, then the other rooms will have nothing in them.” Is your reply rational? Does it logically follow that just because there is something in one room, there will be nothing in the other rooms? Of course it does not. Atheists who claim that science has disproved God follow a similar logic.

@ALANSHEARERISGOD Science focuses its attention on only what observations can solve. However, God, by definition, is a Being who is outside the physical universe. Therefore, any direct observation of Him is impossible. However, an atheist may argue that indirect observation may support or negate God’s existence. This is not true. Any form of indirect observation could never negate God’s existence, because it is like saying an observed phenomenon can negate an unobserved phenomenon. This follows the same logic as the above example in the palace. The fact that science does not lead to atheism is attested by the majority of the philosophers of science. For example, Hugh Gauch rightly concludes that to “insist that… science supports atheism is to get high marks for enthusiasm but low marks for logic.”[1] Gauch makes perfect sense because the method of thinking that relies on observation cannot deny what cannot be observed. What science can do, however, is stay silent on that matter or provide evidence that philosophers can use to formulate a philosophical argument that God exists. Notwithstanding, there are arguments that use scientific evidence that conclude God’s existence is unlikely. These are known as evidential arguments; they are philosophical in nature and not scientific conclusions.

@ALANSHEARERISGOD Why do some atheists believe science can deny God? Science has changed the world. From medicine to telecommunications, science has improved our lives and well-being in ways that no other field of study has. Science continually improves our lives, and aids our understanding of the world and the universe. However, science’s successes have led many atheists to adopt incoherent and false assumptions. Below is a summary of these assumptions.

@ALANSHEARERISGOD First, some atheists perceive that science is the only yardstick for truth and that science has the answers for all of our questions. This motivates the atheist to conclude that God doesn’t exist because science can only address what one can observe. Since God cannot be observed and science is the only yardstick for truth, then to claim God exists is false. This assumption also motivates the atheist to believe that God is no longer required as a reason for things we do not understand. This is a false assumption because science has many limitations, and there are many things that it cannot answer. In addition, there are other sources of knowledge that science cannot justify, yet they are indispensable and fundamental sources of knowledge. This implies that science is not the only way to establish truths about the world and reality.
