I took an hour out of my day today to join other activists in Washington, D.C., to speak out against the Australian government, which refuses to end mulesing mutilations on lambs.
WTF is mulesing? In short, it’s a gruesome and cruel procedure in which huge chunks of skin and flesh are cut from lambs’ backsides in a crude attempt to prevent a maggot infestation known as “flystrike.” Pretty barbaric, right? You can read more here.

You can help sheep too! Here are a few ways to do so:
- Pledge never to wear UGGs.
- Print out our UGG leaflets, and pass them around to everyone you know.
- Show sheep some love on Facebook.
- Purchase cruelty-free clothing, including cotton, cotton flannel, polyester fleece, and synthetic shearling.
Oh, and when people tell you that shearing sheep is “just a haircut,” be sure to show them this video.
