Another example of what happens if you don't peel your sheep.

peel your sheep!

Can you clean and use the fleece?

I think he was staring at me funny at the end and looking to catch hands.

Alex is just happy to be out of his coat.

Humans made this... the origin sheep lost its fleece naturally

DINGLEBERRIES!

He’s not moving those back legs on his own too much… Did he start to get swamp ass back there?

Good kid!

That face says, “I’ll fuckin do it again”

From absolute unit to little lamb.
IgnisInvictus
Poor sheep.
sme2812
Not anymore, if he sold his wool
TheMershedPerderder
Oh, that was poop...
beaubrent
How did they ever survive in the wild?
mossom
Wool you look at that!
mossom
i had to log in for the first time in a year to comment that one lol
mrsdowneyjr
The cut from butt to force feeding was abrupt
thaicats
Bizarre to think that sheep cannot live without human intervention.
CedricDur
Well, now they mostly can't. I suppose if we all died off they would eventually go back to how they were.
mrsdowneyjr
Or the ones we bred would die and wild species would thrive
Kalli
Oh, never thought of it, but of course the fleece would grow so much and just trap loads of their own crap to their body.
OhIfIMust
That's dangerous af.
BrockEffingSamson
No reason to think of it. They're only weird like this because we bred them this way.
bambinod
Of course that amount of wool isn't natural. they've been selectively bred to overproduce wool for shearing. This happens when one gets loose or wanders from the flock for a year or two.

PETA: "They are torturing animals, they need to be stopped." /s
Nifel
I mean, the only reason this sheep has this issue is because it's been bred (by humans) to produce this massive amount of wool. How do you think sheep survived before they were domesticated? :D
Freeasabird2015
I asked about PETA and their sheep ads and I was told that they had visited a/some (?) sheep farm(s) and discovered a huge amount of abuse there. The animals are kicked and punched amongst other things. This is not hard to believe as the UK has had high profile farm animal abuse cases. If that's the case PETA should explain better rather than use the daft ads about 2 sheep to make a jumper.
zanaria
From what I've heard, PETA shelters have a high rate of euthanasia
Freeasabird2015
The RSPCA is the same, even 30 years ago they were lazy when it came to checking animal abuse or abandonment. The public, not knowing where else to turn in most cases, have seemed to have lost faith in them. I would rather support small local animal help groups that are easy to check on.
Jonson71
His fleece weighed more than 6 Stone (I don't know what that is), or 40 KG (I still don't know what that is)
Thejamesconner
Found the American! (Me too buddy 🥲)
somnif
1 stone = 14lbs. 1kg = approx 2.2 lbs.
Jonson71
well now you're asking me to multiply six times 14 so
USvette1
Bet that felt good to get that off.👍
DebraBaronelemonchicken
i bet it feels as amazing as me taking off my bra when i come home from work
DdCno1
Imagine wearing a 40kg bra.
DebraBaronelemonchicken
it feels like is most days
USvette1
Or taking off a big heavy coat during the winter😸
DebraBaronelemonchicken
i hate wearing coats. i could be freezing outside just a hoodie lol. no jacket
USvette1
I live in Colorado, gets pretty cold here. Hoodie and an old motorcycle jacket kinda heavy but warm.
DebraBaronelemonchicken
im a forklift driver in a warehouse . i work nightshift. its already cold here in new england at night. especially driving the forklift all night
OnlyByMoonlight
40 kilograms = 88.185 pounds

Just learn the metric system already :)
thebonesofmyancestors
While I agree with you. Here's the problem. If you've grown up with a system of measurement. I.e. you learned it when you were young and your brain adapted to that system, it is quite difficult for you to adjust to something radically different. No different than learning a language. You might learn a 2nd or 3rd language, but your brain is always going to default to what you learned when you were little. It takes a massive and concerted effort to reprogram your brain.
Dybidude5
It's no rocket science.
You guys can count, so you would adjust pretty fast for sure.
You know how many cents make a dollar and you now what a thousand is.
It's really easy and logic.
LinemanMatt
I wish that the US would switch to the Metric System. It is a helluva lot more logical and simple.
But until we do...nah. It's very rare that I have to use it. I have bett...er...different things to do with my time, like rot my brain on IMGUR! 8^)
Zedrapazia
One word: Potatoes.
Conversion being in 10s, 100s and 1000s Is so much easier than that shit, I still don't understand it and I've been working with people in the USA for almost a decade now.
necessity
"The fleece is more than 6 stone"
huh?
"That's almost 41kg"
HUH?
Akirabs10
Stone is a pound measurement so you really didn't need to convert back to pounds... Twas already there...

It will always amuse me that after shearing an overgrown sheep, they always have to put the little guy in a sweater.
pareidoliaperson
I said a little off the top maaaahhn!
CedricDur
Man, I was about to post this :D But it does make sense. It's still adorable.
zanaria
Probably cause they have to adjust to the temperature difference, the fleece would have been quite warm so they would be quite cold without it until they adjust. I assume anyway.
Thejamesconner
Am sheep. Can confirm.
strangeassfiction
So dumb question, what did the little fluffers do before people people came along and started shaving them every year?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Didn't exist. :) Easy peezy.
Mithi
As always: The humans fucked it up.
Kehy
Sheep have been greatly changed by domestication. That said nowadays there's hair type sheep that don't grow wool like this and can shed naturally. Preferred for meat production as they're significantly less work for a farm's worth of sheep
Areliae
The same way pugs survived in the wild. They didn't, because we made them.
USvette1
Read somewhere that sheep didn't used to be so wooly. We have bred them this way for more wool. Not so wooly means less shearing necessary or none?
Ajierene
Yea my friends have meat sheep and they don't require shearing, wool sheep were bred for wool production and note require shearing
LiloPleo
We had an breed of wooly goat that just shed its coat like a bison does. Fluff everywhere!
I’d imagine at one point sheep were the same.
USvette1
Maybe.
Unfortunate500
Modern sheep are the result of selective breeding. Natural sheep did not have ever growing wool and were more hairy. This guy is the progenitor of all modern sheep:

Him specifically?
