Presumably we should save the sheep for the maggots that would otherwise eat them alive.

I never thought I'd say this but I agree with them!!!

err ....... I think the point is that the farmers do it without any anesthetic or vetenery care, would you do that to your dog/cat?

 

Come to that would you cut a chunk off a fish before putting it back?

There was something on the radio about this last week. It looks as if there's a solution coming up with a topical anaesthetic, which will hopefully overcome the animal welfare issues. The current alternative (do nothing and have the sheep eaten alive by maggots)is hardly appealing.

 

While I think there is a good case for this particular issue being addressed, I can't take PETA seriously. Bottom line is that they don't think we should use wool at all. Ever.

Hmmm, I was under the impression that maggots only ate dead flesh.

The maggots form on the sores, these get progressively worse until the sheep die.

Suddenly my piles feel much better...

Not going to even bother watching it, it's a waste of time with these idiots.

 

They wont be happy untill everybody eats only dirt and keep's only rocks as pets.
