    Yeah, uh, in mass production they’re treated like garbage, cut up during shearing, abused, crammed into tiny shitty conditions. They’re not inherently killed to produce wool but they do often die in relation to being treated as raw material for production.

      And when they stop being profitable (by not producing top-quality wool as they age), they do get slaughtered for meat.
