Supposedly the shot makes the hair fall off and the netting catches it. No more shearing, it just falls off. Then later they collect the sheep and remove the netting stuff with the wool.
It was supposed to cut down on the labor involved, but I also saw footage of people shearing them the old fashioned way and they weren’t exactly fooling around.
So, let me get this right... its now abuse to cut an animals hair? Man some folks just need a life.
--sounds like it works even better than docking their tail--
Thisis almost as stupid as when PETA went on a rampage against milking cows.

wool? yarn? hmmmm does Wal-Mart sell Austrailian wool? I'm sure I could find a use for some. I'll have to search some labels to find the 'right' wool to buy.
