Mumbai 18th Aug 2015(Sana Sayed): A gut-churning PETA video
exposé reveals that life is hell for lambs and sheep exploited for so-called
"responsibly sourced" wool on so-called "sustainable"
farms. A witness found workers in Argentina hacking into fully conscious lambs,
starting to skin some of them while they were still alive and kicking, and
otherwise mutilating, abusing, and neglecting lambs and sheep on farms in the
Ovis 21 network—Patagonia's wool supplier.As you can see in the video footage, workers plunged knives into gentle lambs' throats, sawed through their necks, snapped their heads backwards, and drove knives into their legs to skin them. A manager used a tool similar to pliers to cut pieces out of their sensitive ears. Another worker cut off their tails.
No matter
where wool comes from, whether it's "responsibly sourced" or from a
"sustainable" farm, it's the needless product of a cruel business.
There is simply no way to raise and kill animals for the mass market in a
humane way. To protect sheep from such abuse, please, refuse to buy wool. It's
easy to check the label when you're shopping. If it says "wool,"
leave it on the shelf.
