wool felt / fur felt difference

[jkingrph]

I believe that fur felt is sheared too, but unlike with sheep, the animal is dead and skinned when this happens.

I don't know what difference it would make to the fur/wool whether the animal was alive or dead when being sheared. It would definitely make a difference to the shearer. Imagine trying to shear a live beaver!!

You could use a tranquilizer on the animal.
