Ah, I didn’t realise that, thanks for the explanation.

He bought it so he’s the only shareholder. It’s not publicly traded anymore.

I know your initial question is just about finding a suitable community to talk to but I think people are giving you a hard time because there’s no elaboration, perhaps if you’d just started out with the questions you had this would have went smoother.

I grew up on farms, I know what good shearing looks like. And even if every single shearer was perfect it still does nothing about the other points I made.

please reread

I didn’t do that, I just communicated why I thought the video misrepresented the issue.

Disclaimer: I’m vegan, btw.

I hate things like this because I feel like they misrepresent the issue. Yes, I’m sure there’s some morons out there that think you have to kill the sheep, but that’s not what the vast majority of vegans think. Also it’s great if this person is treating their animals well but that’s absolutely not the case for the vast majority of commercial wool farms where practices like un-anaesthetised tail docking, mulesing and castration are common. And given the sheerers have quotas to make the sheep are often handled roughly and injured and when they get older and the wool quality deteriorates they’re still sent off to a slaughter house all the same.

Sure there’s some tiny farms out there that take good care of their animals and practice ethically and I’m all for it, but videos like this give a really skewed look at the problem by misrepresenting the complaints vegans have and also the practices on an industry scale.

Peace.
