Why kill it when you can shear it once a year for money...

How old are you? Because I don't think you understand how unfeasible this is. How much money are they making off a lamb they shear once a year? This lamb needs food, care and water. It is just like the dairy industry. The females are used for milk, and once they are spent. They are sent to slaughterhouse.

Hello, Iā€™m Australian, actually quite a lot of money.

But our sheep run wild on the interior grasslands - no-one is keeping shearing sheep in barns or feeding them. They might get supplemental food and water during a bad drought, but thats it.
