The UK's sheep shearing industry is facing a crisis due to changes in visa regulations that limit the number of skilled shearers allowed into the country. Shearers warn that this labor shortage will negatively impact sheep welfare, as animals may not be sheared in a timely manner, and cause economic harm to farmers who rely on the shearing season. The industry is urging the government to reconsider the visa changes to ensure the sustainability of sheep farming in the UK.
