but Antarctica is all ice ? it covers a huge portion of the lowest part of the scrollable map ? looking at google maps right now it simply appears as if there isnt anything except water past greenland <| sep |> Domestic sheep only have to be sheared because they were selectively bred to not shed their fleece seasonally . Arguing for shearing being a good thing is ignoring that humans are the root of the issue in the first place . We literally took an animal , bred a genetic defect into it and then want credit for helping the animal live with said defect ? ! Also please look up mulesing and docking , procedures that are often done to lambs without anaesthetics . Even both sheep pictured in the link you provided clearly have docked tails .
