i'm writing about sheep abuse and need some opinions <3
go
Do you know how they get the skin from the sheep???????? Here's a excerpt 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.
Think about it, as you walk in your Uggs, you are stomping on an abused, tortured animal whose last memory was being trampled alive on an overcrowded ship are being thrown into a grinder!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, first of all, this question is spam, because if this askers profile werent set as private, you would see that this is all the ask, word for word, every day. i think we will probably see this question three more times in the next half hour or so. be prepared.
furthermore, YES! you do use sheepskin to make the stupid uggs, it says so right on the tag, so people, please stop saying its just wool.
that is besides the point though because this user is acting like the rest of the animal is just thrown out, when in reality, its freaking not, the rest of the animal is used for food.
mulesing isnt even used any more in most countries and the countries that DO use it are trying to phase it out. this process isnt even used on the sheep that are used for uggs, but if you did one minute of actual research rather than qouting biased websites word for word, you would know this.
get a life. if your going to take a stand against something, find a route where people that matter are actually going to hear you, and make sure that when you find them you have your facts straight because we do not need to read the same freaking question 20 times in two days. grow up
and to the girl below me who said uggs are designer, talk to an austrailian. they are made there, and were originally used as work boots and no one there can figure out how they ever became popular. i know people in austrailia.
