There isn't any difference -- we actually shear our dogs when we shear our sheep. Most of the time with the same shears, sometimes we just use a pair of scissors or a smaller set of grooming shears. PETA is just trying to frighten the public by telling them that we kill sheep to get wool so we won't be able to keep the wool industry as a profitable thing. 'Oh noes, you wear wool, wool belongs on sheep... LET'S RUN AROUND NUDE!!!!1!1!11'

I swear, they are nothing but closet nudists.

I've never needed to really clip a kitty before... mum has shorn a fatter kitty a long time ago and didn't hurt her, but I can imagine how thin their skin is oO; white kits, you can see their viens and things pretty easily.
