Why Sheep Were Sacrificed

Good thing it’s 2024 now and most of us don’t need to abuse animals to live a great happy life eh 😉😊

​@@Alyse-1234What is abusive about animal sacrifice, eating animals and using animal products? You seem to be out of touch with how nature works

Sacrifice is bullshit. Sacrifice yourself if you wanna believe in such shit. ​@@Achintyanath

@@kezman82a Sacrifice is not bullshit. You are bullshit.

@@kezman82a People like you will never understand and it is waste of my time to make you understand

It's mostly not about brute strength

Literally looks like me when I catch my cat chewing on something they shouldn't be chewing

😂

Fr like why do they do that 😭

😂

BRO FR

😂😂😂😂😂

😂 Ik i wasn’t the only one who saw that 😅

Doesn't mean they need to be bred to create more of them. Many sheep live very poor quality lives. Shear the current ones, don't breed so many that suffer.

@@cogsworth2634 DOMESTICATED SHEEP CANNOT NATURALLY SHED BECAUSE OF DOMESTICATION. THEY HAVE BEEN ADAPTED THROUGH EVOLUTION TO NOT SHED DURING THE SUMMER. HENCE WHY WE HAVE TO SHEAR THEM. IF WE DON’T IT’S ACTUAL TORTURE FOR THEM. CAN’T WALK, CAN’T CONTROL THEIR TEMPERATURE. PLEASE SHEAR SHEEP!

​@@cogsworth2634are you really trying to say... don't breed more sheep?💀

Yes, because humans bred sheep to produce such amounts of wool. Easy to say that they now need to be shaved like that. Same with chickens. We bred them to produce unnatural amounts of eggs, hence their short life span in the industry. So that's just a bad argument. It is a true one but it is a bad one.

They arent "suffering"​@cogsworth2634

Right lmao little bowling pin

Like a lil sack of potatoes😂 The sheep are so cute

They initially do, but when they realize the shearer doesn't want to hurt them they calm down

I agree, though you do have to bear in mind prey animals have different psychology to us. Just because a prey animal is still doesn't mean it isn't frozen in shock. But this lady knows her stuff and is keeping it calm.

*cruel

​@@slappy8941thanks

They look like they feel its a spa date 😂😂😂

I get paid to raise sheep. I'm lucky they shed their wool, so I don't have to sheer them. Plus they are free lawnmowers

It's like when it gets a little chilly in the fall and some older animals get frisky and can run around. Without the pelt the sheep is cooled off and has more freedom of movement.

@@pumpkin8222people probably wouldn’t expect it but yes they are great lawnmowers. Apparently it takes a lot of grass to sustain such an animal. “Sheep squad lawn care” is sounding like a great idea right now

I bet there weren't as hot either so they would worry about the overheating

@@theguydudety yes, his had to be shaved down in the spring which helped with overheating and it helped him keep track of which ones has babies. He had a whole system with color coding 😂 I moved to the farm from the city and I never even thought about sheep!

And that's why Jesus didn't sacrifice anything!! He reportedly resurrected two days later, the most you can claim is that he had a rough weekend!!

@@jackwhitbread4583why are you making this about religion edit: more specifically, i was confused to why criticism of christianity was being brought up when the comment was about the value of animals used as sacrifices

@@feathered_turtle I like the story of how Prometheus tricked Zeus into taking the inedible parts of the animal. Leaving the edible parts for humans to eat.

god is not real like that💀

@@feathered_turtleisn’t it religious christian’s who sacrifice ?💀

I'm not sure what you are referring to. Are you referring to intertribal conflicts between pastoralist nomads?

Because Vegans and other pretentious groups feel their ego being fulfilled when they receive attention.

@@dominicguye8058talking about those who criticize the farmer in the video for shearing sheep

​@@dominicguye8058I love this reply

@@rue6914 As well as "Animal Rights Activists" (They're not ones to me.) that claim that it's unethical. For real, how can someone be that stupid?

"save me, please, nooo, AHHHH" then afterwards it's all clean and Fresh and it's probably like 'ooh i haven't felt a breeze There in a while 😊😊" edit- they probably just don't like the actual moment of being handled, and the buzzing and stuff, but they'd obviously fight harder if they were being hurt lol. i imagine it feels really good to get all that weight off you once a year, but it's just annoying to go through the process lol

😂

It's so nice to find an actual wholesome comments reply section that involves 0% world war III, thank you fellow commenters

I wonder if it feels like taking your socks off after a long day but ur entire body

i imagine it must feel like trimming all your hair or using a q tip or something

I imagine it feel like how you get out of a shower and sit in front of the fan to air dry yourself in like 80-70 degree weather😊

bro at an 80 degree weather I'd be cooking 💀 where do you guys live that's SO HOT????

@@matheusalvarenga7820Florida lol

It reminds me of children when their parents take them to the barber 😄

Till she started cutting and it understood what was going on . At that point she hardly had to do anything but guide it so she could cut.

You misspelled 'BAAAAAAAH'

You would never make it as a rancher or farmer. You would be texting in All Caps so much!

@@haslersagirl what? Nobody cares what you think

Did you want the free prostate exam that comes with it?

What's a shame is the loss of knowledge and skills that was common for homemaking. The wool from one's own flock would be processed, spun, woven and made into garments all in the home. As someone who still does these things, most people respond with "it's cheaper to just buy something from the store." Sure, maybe in terms of money, but the loss of knowledge is very expensive.

@@SusieQ3 Aye, it's part of this whole breakdown of society. Part of all of the things that have gone wrong for people to be living as they are now; isolated in luxuries while totally deprived of the basics. People used to live free on the land, and now they are unlanded and reliant on the central government. Most would not survive a single winter.

@@jonlannister345 funny you should say that because the average person today is far more intelligent, creative and adaptable than anyone was a couple hundred years ago. We just have progressed further than having a need to spin wool for 5 hours to achieve the same thing automation can achieve in a few minutes. Nothing wrong with that as a hobby, but miss me with that nonsense on “the old days were better”. If you unironically believe that, you weren’t alive in “the old days”.

@@jonlannister345ridiculous take, humans are on a path to greater technological advances which will free humanity far more than living as hermit and never traveling more than a 100 miles for thousands of years

You two are idiots, if the economy or society collapses you'll easily realize how useless you really are. Our dependency on "automation" can be our downfall. Whatever skill you think you have at your job is useless outside of this makebelive world we all agree to participate in

Also, leaving all the used to be cultural stuff behind, sheep will literally be swallowed by their coat and die if not shorn. Only reason I'd need, we made them like this, they're our responsibility

Same is true for cows, by the way. They are not the auroch-like creatures that we bred them from anymore.

idk, it leaves out the fact that we bred them to not lose their fur, and that's why we have to shear them

​@@ffrai3094yep. People conveniently forget that. Congrats to humans. We created a problem that only we can solve then we pat ourselves on the back for it.

Sheep also are to the point if left unsheared their coat will mat to the point of suffocation or they will die of heat stroke, I’ve seen cases of them dying of heat stroke in fall or winter due to the size of their coat

Stupidity is strong with you

The explanation as to why it is a necessary thing to shave them is commendable, I don’t think it was very compassionate and respectful to refer to animals as trash as well as demean religious/spiritual ancient practices just because she is secular. I think the point could’ve been made without that foulness.

But she was actually saying that sheep's aren't trash. They provide us and our ancient ancestors with so many resources, and that's why they were sacrificed. Ancient people didn't sacrifice trash to their gods because it wouldn't have been a sacrifice if it was something they didn't value. They valued sheep, that's why they were sacrificed.

Right isnt it horrible for sheep health or something?

​@@thalobluethey can die from overheating and experience mobility issues and other issues that can lead to disability, suffering, or death

Some things require education to understand why a gut reaction is not something to base collective action on.

It's a shame they depend on us so much, I don't think they could ever be wild again, not fully anyway. It's like dogs, without human intervention, they will die quickly, which is really sad when you think of all the strays and abandoned pets people have had.

@@beththedarkmage3359 that’s only really a problem if humans disappear. Like any member of an ecosystem, the natural world would be permanently altered if we vanished. We will always need wool, and sheep will always need shearing. It is symbiosis, like sharks and ramora. I do not feel bad that ramora need sharks to get their meals any more than I feel sad that dogs and sheep need us. We are just another pattern observable in nature. No creature can exist truly utterly and perfectly alone.

Looking for this😂 no one gonna talk about the hand directly on the butthole for the send off

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

They sure ain't gonna do it themselves.

I came here to see who else noticed 👀

Forreal just let it get up and give it a spank, don’t gotta finger the damn thing.

You just reminded me of my brother that also calls it “tralala” 😂funny stuff

Yeah, not bad in the winter when the added heat from the wool offsets the downsides, bad in late spring early summer when the added heat becomes a downside in and of it's self.

"its better for humans to not have hair because it can be a disavantage in a fight" type of argument, such a stupid cope

​@@tiagomoraes1510don't the sheeps like...die in the heat if they're not sheered? Or suffer through heat strokes?

@@lll-lq4ztThat’s only because we’ve selectively breed them for those traits.

@@lll-lq4zt do u really think such a basic thing would not be adapted through millions of year of evolution? If you used this logic you would see it makes no sense already. Sheep in captivity have been selectively bred for meat and wool, meaning that their fur is much thicker than that of their cousins in the wild. Basically, the sheep who "benefits" from the trim is the one we selected for our needs (and that normally live in areas sheeps shouldnt live, with higher temperature than normal in the sunny months).

Don't you mean we "ewe" the sheep? 😏

We owe them, but not because of anything they did for us by choice. We owe them because we selectively bred something harmful into them for so long that now they literally face health issues from missing a haircut. What once was a wild animal that could regulate itself naturally by growing and shedding its coat as necessary is now completely dependent on humans because we wanted to exploit a part of their bodies. What is cruel to me is breeding a creature to have traits that are harmful to it because it helps us humans exploit them. IMO, sheep like this are up there with those messed up dog breeds that can’t give birth without a c-section, or who constantly have breathing problems because we bred them that way. It’s just sad what we have done to them.

@@caseydakus7492 Yes, it's true but unfortunately that's how it was meant to be and how it should have been.

I never though of it that way. But it’s 100% true. I wonder if there will ever be a way to reverse the effects. Especially for the dogs. Cause I don’t think sheep shearing is stopping anytime soon.

​@@caseydakus7492 That bloodline would have died off for both us and them so it isn't cruel. We mutually helped each other survive. You've obviously never spent any time on a ranch....

People get sold on the idea that "vegan" fabric is better. But I think a lot of people want better clothes now, it's just finding companies that actually make it, esp women's fashions. You also have to be really rich to afford it. Plastic is available and cheap.

Natural wool is far more environmentally friendly than fabric made from petroleum, a.k.a. Synthetic fabrics. It has a much smaller environmental footprint, and it’s compostable and recyclable. I buy raw fleeces from shepherds to wash and spin into wool. The stuff I don’t spin, including the dung bits on the raw fleeces, makes great mulch/compost for my bushes.

@@stellangiosyou can still find wool clothing in vintage clothing stores, and sometimes in thrift stores. Wool has become more expensive because petroleum fabrics pushed them out; people also aren’t used to hand washing their wool clothing any more. They want more ease instead of better clothes. P.S. the American sheep population has diminished hugely in the last 60 years.

@@susangrande8142Merino wool clothing is awesome ! Love my sweaters, socks and base layers I wear for outdoor activities.

Belly wool is often used for stuffing. The rest is usually cleaned,carded and spun into different weights of yarn that is then woven into cloth or knit/crocheted into garments and accessories like purses, scarves, etc.

I thought I was the only one that noticed the technique 😂

​@@Cheese__ManTECHNIQUE 😂

Ofn I thought the same shid like.. why??🤷🏽‍♂️😭🤦🏽‍♂️

Well, shearing sheep IS the *duty* of human beings.

Excellent comment i agree 100 percent..

Ladies?😂

Did you enjoy the part in the beginning where she literally stuck her fingers in its ass when she got it up?💀 weirdo

​@@jakebrouillette8268her hand was flat, no fingers went in the ass. You're the " weirdo"

​@@jakebrouillette8268 when you work closely with animals, you learn quickly that you will just simply _have_ to come into contact with their genitals and anus at some point, and you have to have the maturity to handle that. animals are gross, and working with them is equally as gross, and that's just how it is. use your brain; she goes through so many sheep in a day, it's obvious that her sole focus here was to help the ewe back on her feet safely, and not on avoiding touching her anus by accident. animals don't experience embarrassment from simple exposure or touches, so it's not like the ewe cared, either.

It's an interesting conundrum. Do we continue to sheer them for their valuables, or do we let our species' creation die for how we engineered them to be?

⁠@@oscarguzman3017I don’t see it as a conundrum. As was said in the video, I think it’s our responsibility to sheer them properly

@@_.soymilk I agree with that side of the thought, tho

@@oscarguzman3017 We have a moral responsibility to the animals, because without us they die horrible deaths. We owe them, there is no conundrum. We are responsible for them.

@@NeighborhoodOfBlue I'm implying that it could actually be merciful to end the species we created by letting them die out by not breeding them ever again because they would die in the wild without our intervention.

Sheering isn't but the wool industry is. Because this is not the reality of your average wool that you buy in the store. Your average wool comes from sheep from Australia, those that survived the winter lambing which is a practice that kills approximately 20% of all new born lambs. After they grow up, they are sent via live transportation ( which is a form of horrific cruelty) to developing countries like Bangladesh or India where low paid workers sheer them. Being paid by sheep and not hour hence they don't care how the sheep is, investigations found sheep with half their faces sheered. This practice per sheep happens in Australia as well, videos with cruel sheering were found in every country where wool is being sheered for the wool industry. Look up mulesing, watch a video with it. See if you can go through the entire video. This is the reality of wool, lambs frozen to death, dead of pneumonia, live transportation, mulesing, cruelty during sheering and this is why it is controversial and considered cruel. This video here is not representative of the reality of wool and why shearing is controversial.

@@catalina5382 Yeah that's nice but tell me, why do activists attack people who're doing nothing wrong? Why don't they stop the acts that you just described? What, are they afraid of India or something? Why do activist insist on attacking wool industries that aren't fucking horrible instead of going after the one's that are? They p**sies or something? C'mon, tell me, I'm waiting.

​@@catalina5382A lot of thay is also the natural concerns of animals. Sickness, disease and death are common in nature. There are a lot of terrible practices, but leaving animals to their own doesnt inherently solve it. An actual solution is looking to support the people like shown who treat animals properly. And encouraging people who care to produce product that is handled responsibly. If all the moral purists decide to step away it gives a great market share to those who dont care

For real, she makes me feel like I could pick up some shears and do this in 5 minutes 😂 obviously I can’t, but she makes it look so easy

Yeah, I've been watching this channel for a while and the sheep are always treated with lots of care, very reliable individual :)

My grandfather had goats, and the older ladies would definitely cut to the front to get milked first.

Some breeds even pull triple duty, and have big enough udders to supply a family with milk after their lambs are full! The Mink Man did that; got a milk-breed sheep. Lambie (his little daughters named her) was able to keep the yard trimmed so he almost never needed to mow, feed both her lambs, and still have leftover milk for butter and cheese for the family.

And get Goat-cheese from them to. Yummy

Thank you for genuinely helping animals 🐑

Probably due to the bowling ball send-off they get after being shorn. Butterscotch, yo.
