Well, I wasn’t meaning to make the claim that the worst natural fiber is environmentally better than the best animal fiber. I definitely think sustainably farmed natural fibers are still better than using animals, although I am not an expert on the subject. Also not denying that wool clearly is a pretty good material in some ways.

Really, I’m coming at this from an ethical persplective - I don’t think we should have livestock at all, and I don’t think we should continue to breed domesticated sheep. Also, are they just being sheared, or also killed? (including the children)

And from a land use perspective, it could either be completely natural environment, or usable human space

I think that this sort of thing is way way better than the status quo, but it isn’t quite what I would consider utopia

Or the panels could be on existing structures instead of taking up addional space, and we could get our fibers and food from plant sources instead of exploiting animals.

Although this is infinitely better than coal and factory farms.
