What does that have to do with the question of whether or not the process of shearing is violent?
How do you know PETAs claims are true? ("As reported by PETA, one eyewitness to the process said")
I've been an eyewitness to the process, and I'm not idealogically biased the way PETA extremists are known to be.
What? This sentence just doesn't make sense. The sheep don't live in the shed.
The females of the breeds I have observed don't have horns, and their tails are docked to prevent excrutiatingly painful death by flystrike.
The alternative to wool production in Australia is cotton, which is even more environmentally destructive than sheep are, mostly due to the sheer amount of water required for cotton production. People need clothes so these industries aren't going away.
Shearers have an interest in not causing unecessary harm to sheep, because it is counter productive. That's my experience.
The rest of your argument is moralising which I am uninterested in.
