The wool industry and the meat industry are actually the same industries, essentially. Seventy percent of the sheep in Australia are Merino sheep; they are raised until they’re about six to nine months old, and then they’re sent to a slaughterhouse, so that they can be eaten as lambs and so that their skins can be sold as well. Some sheep are kept until they’re a little bit older, they can be kept for up to five or six years, only about halfway through the natural lifespan of a sheep so at that point, those sheep are not considered profitable alive, and so they’re slaughtered.
