Stop the ubelieveably cruel treatment of Australian Merinowool lambs-Mulesing and Flystrike

The Merinowool Industry produces the finest fibres in the world today, and clothes made of it is most popular because of it.
But I comes with a terrible cost; These sheep are so vulnerable to attacks from an aggressive type of fly, that they are subjected to something called mulesing.
Mulesing is done to little defenceless lambs, who are restrained on a holdingdevice and contains the removal of the thin skin around anus and genitalia without any form of sedation!! Just cut out with a knife and the left bleeding.
I`ve seen (cencored) live pictures of this on Danish national news (Dr1) and the lambs screemed like babies!
 This must stop!!!

Realizing that an immediat abandonment of the practice, would leave the sheep to an even more cruel destiny; virtually eaten alive by flies, who lay their eggs directly in the skin, because of moist wool and causing a painful death of the animal... I URGE THE INDUSTRY TAKE ACTION AND EVERYONE ELSE TO TOTALLY BOYCOT  THIS PRODUCT, UNTIL THEY DO!

Maybe it`s incredibly soft and wonderful, this wool. But can you really live with this sort of cruelty, in the name of  low prices?
I can`t, and I really hope by this petition to influence Industry and Farmers to start using sedation in the period of time, until another more resisting breed of sheep has been developed.
 
 Please support me in this and Thank you for your time.
