PETA exposes Alpaca cruelty in Peru

[Catherine]

LPC, I watched the video you posted and I have to say that Alpacas are just so cute and very gentle. 
Once they had the Alpaca on the ground it just relaxed, laid its head down and was fine with being sheared.
It didn't take that long. The Alpaca wasn't stressed and it wasn't injured. The fleece came off cleanly and neatly.
When they were done the Alpaca and the shearers all looked calm.

In the PETA video the workers wear themselves out throwing the animals around. The animals are deeply stressed and frequently injured. The fleeces are a mess and bits of wool are left behind. They do a poor job of shearing. I don't think they saved any time. All that aggression towards the Alpacas took time and energy.
They only think they are working faster because they seem to be rushing.
 Calm and steady finished the job better and in less time. The  Alpaca  quietly returned to its regular life. There was no need for first aid.

Maybe the workers in Peru need to sit and watch the video you posted. I know they have a lot more animals to clip, but surely it would go better and faster if they treated the animals better.
