    I know this is a circle jerk but I’ve got an expensive wool suit (and some other wools) I haven’t decided what to do with yet. I’m inclined to give it back to my parents who paid for it. I am asking for advice. please be kind

      … sheep have to be shorn or they get mangy and get infestations/infections. Your wool suit isn’t hurting any animals, sheep’s aren’t killed to harvest the wool, it’s just cut off with clippers like when you get a haircut

        Sheep are bred to grow more wool than they would in the wild to their own detriment. Wool farmers are not their friends.

          That breeding was done thousands of years ago. No need to torture poor sheep just because you’re “vegan”. Buy a bloody wool jumper today!

      If you’ve already got it, why would you get rid of it? It’s not like you’re going around buying wool suits now. It’s already made, and your use of it isn’t promoting the manufacture of new wool goods.
