POLL: do you like Uggs?
let me just take this time to share with you the abuse sheep go through.
from savethesheep.com:
Mulesing is a gruesome procedure in which farmers flip lambs onto their backs, restrain them between metal bars, and use gardening shears to cut huge chunks of flesh from their rumps without any painkillers whatsoever. Mulesing is a cheap, crude attempt to create smooth, scarred skin that is resistant to blowfly maggots which can eat sheep alive. However, the enormous, bloody wounds can attract the very flies the procedure is supposed to repel, and lambs sometimes get flystrike before they even heal from the traumatic ordeal.
please, boycott the australian wool industry. SO many sheep are being abused. its immoral and wrong. i know, animals were put on this earth to keep us warm and to eat, but making it extremely painful for them was not part of the deal. think about what you’re contributing to.
what’s your stance
Omg not all sheep are treated like that! I know because my neighbor is one. They have there sheep on pasture they are not always caged. They cut the wool of not flesh and its shavin of very carefully. That article doesnt speak for the people that treat there animals nice and humain it just focuses on the bad! Sheep farmers are trying to earn a living to they have kids. Think about the over population! When the sheep are butchered they are sold to a meat market at Market and then are butchered.
I still will love uggs.
John Macarthur (wool pioneer)?
What did he contribute to the Australian wool industry?
I know he’s like the father of it but what did he actually do?
He got rich raising Marino Sheep and exporting the wool to England and at the same created a new industry in Australian which became their leading export product.
