I am all for recycling but that seems to be a bit extreme...
There are other ways to make sure that your crafty works are sustainable without necessarily collecting your pet's hair (btw, I wonder if you could knit with hamster hair?...)
First of all, you can decide not to buy any new yarn altogether. Just give your closet a good cleanup or head to your nearest charity shop and see if there's anything you could unravel. Just recently, I decided to turn my old winter scarf into a nice knitted pillowcase.
And if you still want to go with the new, think of two things: how sustainable the manufacturing process was and what the 'afterlife' of the yarn would be like (is it biodegradable? can you knit with it again and again?).
