O, actually I didn't think there was any difference. It's just that the
word, "shredded" seemed to click with Janet, whereas "pulled" didn't, so I
was suggesting basically that she find out for herself if there IS any
difference.

I did notice, though, that some of the images when I googled one or the
other showed shredded in a finer 'shred' perhaps like a mulch wood shaving,
whereas pulled would be in wider pieces.

To me, tho, if I were looking at a recipe that called for shredded or
pulled, it would mean the same for my preparation purposes. I'd put it in
the oven and cooked until it pulled apart.
