Angora rabbits, who are repeatedly shorn for their soft wool, don't have it much better. They are strapped to a board for shearing, kicking powerfully in protest. The clippers inevitably bite into their flesh, with bloody results. Angoras have very delicate foot pads, making life on a wire cage floor excruciating and ulcerated feet a common condition. Because male angoras have only 80 percent of the wool yield of females, they are routinely killed at birth.
As long as the rabbit is used to being groomed it is not hard to get their wool. We don't shear ours, we just brush & pluck the wool out. We then sell it to a group who uses it for spinning. It does not have to be stressful for the rabbit at all.
