Before New Zealand and Australian sheep are crammed, sometimes 80,000 to a boat, for several weeks in some cases of no food or water until they arrive at Kuwaiti or Saudi or other slaughterhouses at which they often take a minute to die after
their throats are slit, choking on their own blood, they are in flocks whipped by drovers, bitten by
sheep dogs, trampled on by horses, subjected to mulesing (the slicing off of their flesh), slammed to the ground by shearers.
Ranch owners often don't care about fleecing the sheep too
early so that they freeze. It's just a cheaper way to turn living
animals into mutton.
American, British, Canadian
and Australian filmmakers have all attempted to glorify this ruthless industry whose end results include the drought, famine,
and fire from the overgrazing which turns green lands into brown, brutification of human beings, strokes and heart attacks, cancer and kidney
problems, arthritis and Alzheimer's from animal fat,
animal protein, amyloid plaque, uric acid, etc, global
heating and freezing from overgrazing, energy waste
and the lowest of all food yields per acre.

Anthrax used to be called wool sorters' disease.
