Well "unfortunately" not everyone wants this on their recommendations, I'm not the one to argue with stuff like this but I'm one of the ones that doesn't want to see it and as you know how KZfaq's algorithm works it's unavoidable Don't even know why I got this video specifically on my recommendations, I'm guessing it was more of the channel it's self since I'm learning related stuff to the channel but since I don't watch "shorts", the only video (or one of them) KZfaq could recommend was this one.

That was what I was worried about when I got into spinning. It doesn’t help that PETA’s “information” is one of the first pages to pop up. But I looked further, watched some shearing videos, and went to a sheep shearing festival, and concluded that harvesting wool is a couple minutes of indignity for the sheep. I can live with that.

That title got him an invitation to be the technical consultant on shearing for the mini-series, The Thornbirds. He and several other shearers from our community and Iowa went to Australia and trained some of the actors and themselves were filmed for some of the shearing scenes. Anytime I see someone shear it makes me think of our Iowa shearers making a movie 😁 I just stumbled on your channel by accident and it’s one of my favorites ♥️
