I think PETA does anything it has to to get funded, especially lying. It's not like PETA is appealing to a remotely sane, well-educated, or emotionally stable group of people. The folks who support (worship) PETA already live in a psychotic fantasy world. They enjoy their own lies that they tell each other, and they rejoice even moreso in the lies their leaders tell them. i mean frick they should go kick a bear in the balls and then talk about how much you want to let it live after it eats their stomach to the spine. Come on. Animals thems is danjeriss.
Well there's a difference between sheared and skinned (lamb skin coats used to be a much bigger thing)

Or for gawd sakes people, its a HAIRCUT. People get haircuts everyday without being skinned, same goes for sheep. I take my dog to groomer for the exact same cut
BUT (I have a friend who has a large farm) if they do get cut when shearing, the rub tar on it to stop the bleeding. It actually happens a lot. I've only seen 3 sheep sheared and it has happened.
I rub tar on my bad wounds. We did it to the dogs too. It disinfects and seals the cut. Crap people use tar shampoo for dandruff what is the big hairy caleidescope deal people?
My brainwashed hippie friend went on a rant to me about how my DEODORANT causes cancer I'm so fucking done with this bullshit I try to be polite about it but you can't just believe everything you read on the Internet but some people are just stupid enough to believe it
And suntan lotion makes men sterile. What is this, 1936 Moscow?

Seriously, people say everything causes cancer. If I avoided everything that has been linked to cancer I would live a boring lonely life. Quality of life over quantity
Everyone born after April 26th of 1986 is at a higher risk of cancer and EVERYTHING can cause cancer you can't touch, eat, breathe or live without exposure to something.
One of the world's worst nuclear disasters in history!? Holy shit don't they teach history anymore? I need to go now my faith is humanity just blew its brains out! And before anybody says 'well that only affected the Ukraine' bull shit the whole world got a dose even if it was only traces!

>expecting people to associate specific dates with events they likely only vaguely know about in the first place
So does the Wikipedia page actually say that the chances of cancer for everyone went up after that? And what does being born then have to do with it?
misinterpretation and big assumptions being made of one event. those born before chernobyl are not immune to radioactivity anyway. regardless, no matter when you were born, the effects of chernobyl on you are insansely little.
In any case anytime something like that happens there is always an effect, look up the spike in cancer and birth defects afterwards and I'm sure we will be hearing about the effects of the Japanese meltdown in a few more years too. But what I'm trying to explain before everyone turned into frogs in a house of flies is that environmental things like cancer are unavoidable beyond certain reasons, so soullesspegasus' friend is just trying to live in a pointless bubble by avoiding everything.

According to Joe Jackson, everything gives you cancer.
Exactly cancer is really just damaged cells, either through an environmental exposure like sunlight or chemicals like lead or smoking in some cases the body deals with the cells by destroying them if possible or the cells multiply too quickly and you get tumors.
Last I checked sheep require regular shearing to be healthy and they rarely if ever get hurt during the process and I know farmers that still use antique scissors! Of course knowing peta like I do they also complain about giving wormer meds and everything else. I know one thing if these numbnuts ever cross paths with me I'll show them some 'ethical' treatment I'll just throw open the gates start up a stampede and watch them get some hoof prints in their rear ends!
It's easy to think you know what your doing and accidentally graze the sheep (I've cut sheep's wool before), so an irresponsible person with a razor will end up with the right. A professional will end up with the left. If you ever have an opportunity to cut sheep's wool, do it, its awesome.
(except it kinda smells)
The populations of natural predators in America are largely wiped out. Fur-bearing animal populations must be kept in check to prevent plagues from wiping them out, too. So now it's our job to cull the extra game or they will eat all the food supplies and die by the tens of millions of starvation and disease, like happened in Jersey in the 70's. It's that, or re-introduce grizzlies, panthers, wolves, and black bears back into the areas surrounding urban areas. Yeah. That will go over like a lead buzzard.
Guest, I assumed the one on the right was dead... if it's not, even the way they're holding it makes me go wtf. Who holds a living animals head like that?! Wouldn't that hurt or at least agitate it s well?
Sheeps were actually bred to produce an anormous amount of wool. Naturally they werent suppossed to be sheared otherwise they wouldnt survive in nature.
Sheep are also often skinned alive for the leather after they are older so dont pretend like they are treated nicely to feel better about yourself. Please dont be ignorant look it up. Its your choice what you do with the information but dont call bullshit without knowing better!
How do you know the information is valid, when you have a group like this running gore tactic advertising? I mean this is fake, how much more of it is fake? Is Khloe Kardashian really naked in those ads? (Obviously I'm being facetious) but you can't get an honest opinion when the people giving you the information have an agenda; information that is also completely biased and lies in order you to be persuaded. It's like just watching Fox News to be informed.
It's always aggrivating to hear a PETAphile, who didn't grow up on a farm caring for animals day and night and losing thousands of hours of sleep over many decades caring for our animals, inventing all these physical features of stock animals they've never touched, and the personality profiles of the owners, rather than talk to a stockman or go buy a farm themselves.

Yeah, skinned alive. Think about what you said. The skinner would get kicked to pieces before the sheep was dead.
I can only think of a few cases where the animal would be skinned alive and you are right it would cause problems especially if other herd members are near, maybe have the jugular vein cut but even then the animal has almost always been dispatched before hand especially in modern times, some people really need some experience with animals before they speak.
As someone commented above, they kill most of the animals they " rescue " and in another post someone showed that Peta actually payed people to kill animals in inhumane ways just to " prove the terrible conditions which animals were kept "
