Brrrr!—It’s getting chilly out there. Shouldn’t you put on a sweater? But before you go looking for something wooly to wear, consider this: Do you really want to put on something that itches, smells (think musty mothballs and wet dog), and causes sheep pain, misery and death? We didn’t think so.

From having huge chunks of their backsides hacked off in a gruesome procedure called “mulesing ” to being shipped to the Middle East to be turned into kebobs, the Australian wool industry is a bloody business full of pain and suffering. Luckily, it’s easier than ever to find sheep-friendly fabrics like polyester fleece, acrylic, cotton flannel, Gore-Tex, Thermolite, and Thinsulate at most mainstream merchandisers.

Want to help sheep? Boycott Australian wool and tell all of your Little Bo “Peeps” to do the same. Join our Activist Network to get active for sheep today!
