Millions of lambs in Australia, the biggest wool producing country worldwide, are mutilated for their wool.
This terrible practice is called mulesing.
It is an extremely painful procedure in which large skin folds around the buttocks of young lambs are cut off with shears, without adequate, or in some cases any, pain relief.
The new FOUR PAWS Wool Report revealed that NIKE has no reliable measures in place to exclude mulesing from their product range.
Pain-free and sustainable solutions are available
Luckily, pain-free alternatives are available and tested by woolgrowers. Over 3,000 Australian woolgrowers are mulesing-free. Various wool standards certify and trace wool all the way back to the farms to make sure lambs were not subject to mulesing. More than 240 international brands have spoken out against this procedure and want mulesing-free wool.
You can help end the suffering of millions of lambs.
NIKE IS A BRAND WITH THE POWER TO CHANGE.
So why don’t they use this power to rule out cruel mulesing?
