[edit] Trelicians don't exist
There have been repeated attempts to add sneaky vandalism to this article mentioning "Trelicians," who don't exist. [1]. This article actually began as sneaky vandalism, and the bad information exists on some outdated wikipedia mirrors, so be please be wary when simply verifying through google. -- Norvy (talk) 03:34, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sheared?
This site says the wool is just pulled off during their natural molting. Is this true? They aren't sheared or skinned? More details would be good. — Omegatron 23:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- People usually comb or pluck the hairs from angora rabbits. They are wool animals, so by definition they are not skinned for spinning. I have heard of people shearing the animals, but my understanding is that that does not produce as good a product of combing of plucking. You're right, it would probably be good to make sure that kind of information is covered somewhere. --Ahc 04:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
