Almost Legendary
Yep... I'm going back to the land of the long white sheep.... I mean cloud... But there's a cloud over the Australian wool industry - mulesing. This is the surgical removal of strips of wool-bearing skin from around the breech (buttocks) of a sheep to prevent flystrike (myiasis) in regions where it is common (Wiki).
Unfortunately PETA have hit out at Australian sheep farmers and want them to stop the practice.
I assume there are a few Aussie sheep farmers here - and I'd like to hear your point of view.
I'd also like to hear the point of view of the wool wearers or general populous. Plus it would be good to get the non-biased view of a PETA representative - that's about the only faction of people that are poorly represented on this site!
Here's the PETA scare campaign video and a little story that goes with it.

They plan on targeting the Aussie tourist in the US in the hope they'll boycott ya ug boots???
All comments welcome
