More seriously though, it's hard to know where to draw the line between benefiting man and 'being cruel' to animals. I prefer animals to people but I'm a meat eater. On the other hand a vegetarian friend of mine supports PETA and, for example, hates to see blind people using guide dogs because she regards their training as cruel (as it seeks to remove many of the natural instincts of a dog). As someone who loves dogs, and can certainly see her point, but who has also worked with blind children, I'm left confused.

It is quite possible for an unshorn sheep to be brought to its knees with the weight of wet wool on its back.
The price of wool is often so low it costs the farmer to shear them but they still do it for that reason.
It is definitely cruel to shear them.... not!
PETA may mean well but they do not know what they are talking about as is often the case with their pronouncements.
