So what's the name of your new group ? PEEP? (People for the ethical eating
of plants)

I'm a very sensitive person and 1st noticed plant auras some time ago.
Recently, plants have begun to talk to me.
They are very sad about the murder of their fellow plants.
So I'm gonna start a new group to stop the wanton destruction and
consumption of plants.
Come on folks, we've got to stop abusing the plants!
Regards, Bob S.
(I can't stand to drive thru the corn fields of Iowa as harvest time nears.
The despair from the plants is overwhelming. Very sad indeed.)

So, where does wool rate in all this? One could reasonably
argue running around without their sweaters doesn't improve a
sheep's health.
As I understand it the vegan position is that we shouldn't exploit animals
at all, so no wool, no honey, no pets etc.
In my opinion it's not really a tenable position for all of humanity to
adopt and would, at least in the short term, lead to more animal suffering
than it would alleviate. Nevertheless, individuals are free to make their
own choices.
Sheep are not really in their natural state any more, thanks to artificial
selection, and would suffer considerably if they weren't regularly
sheared,
just as most cows would suffer if they weren't milked.
Not all sheep need to be sheared, of course. The Ethiopian Hair Sheep is a
good example. They are bred for their hide, which makes wonderful leather
(Pittards). In fact, I have a pair of cycling gloves made from their
leather.
