   @Sfwmson @webhat they can't consent to any part of their body being used. They are a being which deserves respect, not to be used for human desires. If your hair isn't enough, try asking a fellow human adult if you can use their hair when they don't have a use for it anymore. It's their wool and they've been selectively bred to produce more of it to be more profitable to humans. Stop objectifying other beings.

     some Nazis practiced veganism. Janseism is one of the ideologies behind the rise of fascism in India. there’s a big contingency of vegans in the fascist MAHA/MAGA movement; inspired by 19th century eugenics. then there’s the very real oxymoron of vegan capitalism.

     no. veganism doesn’t decolonize you or your food.

     if you cannot imagine a world without private equity owned factory farming of veggie patties; then you need to rethink the culture part of agriculture.

     am sorry, but this is… illogical.

     sheep need to be sheared. they are domesticated and need humans to survive. if you don’t shear them, they could die of infections, or even suffocated under the weight of their own wool.

     it never ceases to amaze me how many folks do not seem to know anything about farming.

     plus, wool cloth is way better for the environment than the petroleum, oil-based polyesters that replaced it.

     you can’t fast fashion wool.

     @blogdiva obviously, sheep need to be sheared. And rescued sheep, like these above would need to be sheared too. Exactly for the reasons you state

     And it honestly ceases to amaze me that people think that modern industrial farming is anything like the pretty pictures of farms with sheep running happy and free in pastures. To be sheared sheep are fed through gates to shearers who don't take care of the skin or hair, they have a quota that they need to meet and if a sheep gets hurt they have a paintbrush to tar them with a disinfectant, or a dunked in a disinfectant bath. Sheep get hurt in the process, some badly. Some die during shearing, because shears cut into the animal, which is frowned upon by the farmer. Some drown in the sheep dip. Others die due to infections they develop during the process, which is just spillage

     Industrial farming is a practice that leads to a lot of ecological damage, it has very little to do with the farming that most people think they know

     If we were to do with dogs and cats, what we do to some of our domesticated farm animals, we would probably be sent to prison

     INDUSTRIAL.

     when Europeans invaded the Américas and went on to try to exterminate one line of my ancestors so they could end up enslaving and importing my other line of ancestors; they did so by calling us, our lands, our flora & fauna as savage, wild, untamed.

     BUT TAINOS PRACTICED PERMACULTURE BEFORE A WHITE MAN COLUMBUSED IT. all of the Américas were conucos of one form or other; including alpaca & vicuña wool farming.

     DECOLONIZE your concept of farming.
