Wool

Music legend Morrissey is joining the international outcry asking clothing retailer Uniqlo to follow the lead of Muji and other compassionate companies and stop using wool from Australian farmers.

PETA supporters protested fashion retailer Uniqlo’s continued use of Australian wool from mulesed sheep – which are bred to have wrinkly skin so that they will produce more wool.

This Mother’s Day, while you are celebrating your own mum, remember that some of the best mothers in the world are found in the animal kingdom.

Compassionate fashion is all the rage this season, and with so many warm, stylish options to choose from, there is just no need to wear wool.

Many Australian sheep will be spared from mutilation thanks to brand giant Tesco, which announced that it will buy lamb meat only from farms that do not perform mulesing.

Animals find new ways to astonish us every day. Wouldn’t it be great if we returned the favour by astonishing them with our compassion?
