Dear Friends and Animal Supporters,
I just read this article from PETA's newsletter and it broke my heart again. Firstly, I heard about dogs skinning alive in China, now skinning the lambs alive in Argentina. How much cruelty can our world handle? How much suffering of these innocent animals we can witness? We cannot stand and doing nothing. We have to act! Please read this article and sign the petition:
"Patagonia claims its wool is "responsibly sourced". Yet an eyewitness who visited farms in Argentina in the Ovis 21 network – Patagonia's wool supplier – found something very different.
Young lambs had pieces of their ears cut out with plier-like tools and had their tails cut off. One lamb was castrated by having a tight ring put around his scrotum – all without painkillers. Such hideous mutilations are common across the wool industry.
During shearing, sheep were stamped on and left cut and bleeding. One sheep even died from a wound afterwards, according to a worker.
Most shockingly, workers were documented killing conscious lambs in horrifying, gruesome ways. They tied the animals' legs together, plunged knives into their throats and sawed through their necks. Then they snapped the animals' heads backwards, apparently trying to break their necks.
Minutes later, some lambs were still alive and kicking when a worker drove a knife into their legs to start skinning them. Eventually, they were hacked apart. Their organs were carved out of their bodies and their severed heads dumped into a bloody tub.
This happened in full view of other terrified lambs – who knew their turn would be next.
Please, speak out against this cruelty.
No matter where wool comes from, it's the product of animal suffering. Previous exposés by PETA US have uncovered similar abuses on sheep farms all over the world. There is simply no way to raise and kill animals for the mass market in a humane way.
You can help end sheep's suffering by refusing to buy items made from wool. Instead, choose from the many warm, animal-free clothing options available.
Please also ask Patagonia to drop wool immediately in favour of animal-friendly materials. The company's claim that its wool is "responsibly sourced" misleads caring consumers. Fill in the form below to send your message to the company."
