Death for warmth

In Ukraine, in Bessarabia, a sheep shearing festival is held annually! Sheep are specially bred for their wool to be sheared! Sheep wool is used by famous fashion designers for tailoring fur clothes for wealthy people! But warm and beautiful fur passes the road of death! when shearing sheep at speed, sheep often die; sometimes they are pierced with razor-sharp scissors! The slaughtered sheep are later used in food as meat! Shearing sheep reminds me of collecting taxes from people who then, having given everything to the penny, cannot survive!
