"At our New York shelter, for example, our shearer spends three days among our flocks, which consist of roughly 100 sheep total. In the wool industry, most shearers are paid by the sheep—not by the hour—and, at an average of two minutes per sheep, one shearer can work through double this amount in one day. Sheep can get deep and painful cuts from a rushed shearing job. It can also be very scary for them to be pinned and roughly handled with loud, sharp tools."
