Another way to use your power as a consumer to avoid the degredation of music as an art form, is to avoid money grubbing whore entertainers such as pink altogether. The picture isn't a whole lot prettier in the rest of world were greedy producers and pop entertaners such as this stupid whore systematically and ruthlessly rob real artists whose music actually matters and has a real message. Stop cruelty to music!!
I am not a vegan nor Animal liberationist, I am a farmer & I hate ignorance. Suggest you watch the dpiNSW video on how to treat a flystruck sheep ie early before this much damage is done, with hand shears not machine which is too painful, & use a flystrike insecticidal treatment. Flystrike this bad is caused by lack of monitoring & late treatment not being unmulesed. Farming is supposed to be full time job but most dont take the time or care to make sure that no animals suffer. Yes its true
I have 30 years experience with merinos and I can tell you that mulesing only stops a proportion of flystrike in the breech area. It has no effect on shoulder, back and pizzle strike which are extremely common and just as deadly. Even mulesed sheep suffer and die from flystrike because they are not checked and treated soon enough, as in this video. The only solution is VERY FREQUENT CHECKING, EARLY TREATMENT WITH INSECTICIDAL POWDER, OIL OR SPRAY, and careful aftercare for more advanced cases.
Of course this poor animal died. It was not found soon enough but left until the injury was too serious. Why let it get into this state, which would have taken about 10 days. Also it was not treated correctly, no flystrike powder, oil or spray was applied, it was machine shorn with a wound which would have felt like 3rd degree burns. It recieved no antibiotics for blood poisoning nor pain relief. Was it even kept out of the sun after shearing or did it have to suffer severe sunburn as well?
Osamu Aoyama, head of the world's large apparel retailer, Aoyama.
He says Aoyama intends to sell Woolmark suits that are labelled according to their CO2 credentials.
Aoyama last week signed The Merino Company a three-year agreement to supply 2000 bales a year of 17.5 to 18.5-micron wool for the production of men's suits that meet the carbon criteria.
What the sh!t? This poor animal needs pain relief and veterinary treatment, not careless handling and shearing! I'm at a loss here.. trying to make a point about animal husbandry by openly committing animal cruelty?
Ugh, never wearing wool again. Oh, and are we really supposed to believe that cutting chunks of skin off an animal's butt is the COMPASSIONATE choice? How about not intentionally breeding sheep that have incredibly wrinkled skin?
@OonaCanute TWO mobs of sheep were grazing in London's fashionable Savile Row this week to promote the natural advantages of wool. The sheep were there to promote the start of the five-year Campaign for Wool, which has been endorsed by Prince Charles.
Australian Wool Innovation has committed $150,000 to the first year of the campaign, which is also being supported by New Zealand and South African producers, the British Wool Marketing Board and key UK retailers and brands.
@OonaCanute Open your eyes are you blind? the sheep shearers have nothing to do with the defleshing its the whool holding moustuer and bugs that cause the deafleshing! you people are so blinded by lies you cant even think for your self.
WOOL prices have reached their highest levels in US dollar terms in 20 years, with growers finally positioned to reaping the benefits of a long-term global shift in demand. The Eastern Market Indicator closed last at 949 cents Independent analyst, said this was the highest level wool had traded in US dollar terms since March, 1989
AWI’s market intelligence and trade reporting manager, Paul Swan, said new markets and changing demand for Merino wool had helped swing wool’s fortunes.
@OonaCanute your dumb this is to help a flystruck sheep you know nothing i love sheep get out of here with all that nonsense the poster of the video doesnt know whats good baaaaah baaaah i luvs me sheep step off
Many US brands and retailers viewed AWIs Merino knitwear innovations, for the autumn winter 2011/12 retail selling season, at last weeks SpinExpo trade event in New York. US brands and retailers who visited the AWI stand to examine the innovations included Gap, Club Monaco, Dillard’s, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Lands’ End, Macy’s, PVH, Calvin Klein, Victorinox and Marc Jacobs. The AWI collections had been a great success, and that US interest in natural fibres had been the best for many years.
@waratahNSW Yep, Duncan told me. He also told me that farmers don't farm for the love of animals. He is right though. I honestly can't handle PETA videos so I don't watch them. So, you honestly expect me to believe you have sheep because you just love being around sheep? I have a few pets because I love them. If I had a flock it would be a pain in the butt to keep up with, there would have to be some incentive....
@NadimahElizabeth Mmm, I had a side conversation with her and we agree on many topics when it comes to animal welfare and rights. But shes extremley anti-PETA.
Jordanian PETA member Amina Tariq was arrested yesterday in Jabal Amman province. Public Security officials broke up the crowd and arrested both Tariq and ubiquitous PETA agitator Ashley Fruno . Rreaction from the Muslim locals was negative. Ahmed Thibani said he was angry after learning that the activists stopped traffic in order to save animals from reaching his kitchen. 'I work two jobs to make sure there is meat on the table at least once a week,' he said. 'You want me to give that up?'
You behave like a spoiled child with a sense of entitlement. I am here to tell you that nothing, absolutely nothing, gives you or any other parasitic human being the right to brutalise and butcher a helpless animal and exploit him for his fleece.
We shall see what becomes of your vulgar industry come December 2010. You had 6 years to phase out mulesing, but spent two of those years fighting PETA in court, and for what? To lose.
how would you like the skin of your backside cut off ?think of how much pain you would be in? do you think its right to do it to a lamb? lambs should not be put through the pain of skin on there backside being cliped off.
@mermaidiliana And how do you propose we prevent Fly strike. HMMMM, Do you not think fly strike is much worse considering it often leads to the death of sheep.
@Davobeff You can't prevent fly strike. Mulesing ony reduces the chances of being struck. Sometimes sheep are struck because flies are attracted to the mulseing injury. Most sheep afflicted by flystrike are themselves mulsed. You can't defend mutilating an animal which is being exploited like that, the answer is to stop farming them.
@NadimahElizabeth Mulesing is a prevention method, not saying it doesn't happen though. I have rarely seen lambs fly struck after being mulesed. I have spent my entire life until recently on the family farm so i can draw from experience. what rural back ground do you have? You've just been told lies by people who don't know.
@Davobeff I live in sheep country northern Ireland. I am drawing my information from research, farmers I know and personal expreience with struck sheep who survived the ordeal. Are you suggesting the sheep lied to me? Who lied to me? I am not a PETA person if that is what you mean.
@waratahNSW That is what I'm saying, it is a job for you, an income. It isn't for the love of sheep. It must be nice to have the support of the government when times are bad, I'm sorry you don't have that, it was like that in Florida too. I don't recieve any benefits myself. Well, I'm off to talk to my sheep.
I keep a flock of pedigree rare breed sheep. Mulesing is something that we would never consider, nor would anyone we are in contact with. All of our sheep are shorn and protected against fly strike - it is hard work, but much better than scarring them. We get nothing from the government or any other financial body; we run our flock with money we earn from our jobs.
@NadimahElizabeth i thought you were crazy so what exactly did the sheep tell you..? i mean its 1 thing to talk to the sheep but when they answer back...its all over.
@boaraxa Well, he said "Maaa?" I said "Yes, son?" He said "Maa?" I said " Yes son?!" He said "MAAA!" Then I got him his bran flakes for breakfast. Only in Ireland LOL
Don't be silly, this is the result of flystrike not being unmulsed! The reason people do such a barbaric thing isn't to stop suffering because mulesing is as bad and it is done to more sheep than ever would get flysrtike. For farmers it is about profit. They would lose money hiring people to maintain a proper inspection of the flock and they would lose money on culling or treating the injured. So they mutilate the entire flock because it is easier on them.
@NadimahElizabeth why would they need to hire people? for that matter why would they even bother putting rams with their ewe if they wanted the lambs to die?
@Davobeff Sorry but I don't understand your comment. I didn't say farmers wanted lambs to die. I said that in order to thoroughly inspect an overly huge flock of sheep in the humane way (without mutilating them) a farmer would not be able to do so alone; he would have to hire help to do so. Hiring help would cut into his profits. Mutilating his lambs reduces but does not eliminate the chance of fly strike and means he can maintain his flock with less cost. Savvy?
Animal activist attacks on American retailers increased 377 % in 2008.
According to the Animal Agriculture Alliance 640 acts of sabotage, vandalism, and arson occurred in 2008 against businesses that use animals. Groups involved in the attacks included the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF).
Peta the pressure group has supplied funding to the ELF in the past.
The ELF was classified as America's top domestic terror threat by the FBI in 2001
US lobbyist Mr Erik Autor, vice-president of the National Retail Federation., is in Australia as a guest of Australian Wool Innovation to talk about the wool trade.
Mr Autor said while it was obvious Australia would be unable to meet the deadline, he believed retailers would continue to demand non-mulesed wool. But recognising there would be shortages of these wools
We pointed to the glaring ERRORS in a 2006 United Nations report that claimed 18 percent of global greenhouse gases are related to animal agriculture. In 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculated that the entire agriculture sector accounted for only 6 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, while sources directly related to livestock production represented barely 2.5 percent of the total.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has written to Mr Burke urging the Australian Government to immediately set up a timeline for implementing a genetic breeding program for sheep as a more humane and effective alternative to mulesing for flystrike control.
PETA says that if the government agrees to phase out mulesing in favour of genetic alternatives within two years, PETA will extend its campaign moratorium.
If only people could get an idea of the smell that would be emitted from that strike. By the looks of that lamb maybe 1 or 2 days and it will be dead. Its takes bugger all time for a sheep to get to that stage. Not bad looking wool.
Thanks mate!!sheep farmer my self and glad that some1 is putting up some real stuff not just bullshit advertising sucking dumb city people into believing that farmers are cruel to livestock!!hats off
RAILING against the march of synthetic jumpers and carpets, Prince Charles is attempting to rebrand wool as a fashionable and eco-friendly fabric that consumers will choose for clothes and home furnishings.
The scheme, launched this week, aims to help sheep farmers by boosting the price of wool worldwide.
wel guiy16 im shure the world could benafit from your insite on the way this animal is handled if its not done in this manner how should it be done??? do you even no what and why they are doing it lol??

Do I detect a sign for bigoted vegan ignorance here.
CDLever you are a good example of WHY the majority of people HATE vegan bigots like you.
With you sick intolerance of people who choose to eat what they like, your pathetic attempts to make them feel guilty or sick. you are all the same, sick intolerant bigoted vegans. It is a sham that you claim that you care for animals. To lazy, to sick, to bigoted, to ignorant, to stupid to see past your own intolerance.
WOOL prices have opened the season strongly with the Eastern Market Indicator breaking 900c/kg.
At the close of trading in Melbourne and Sydney today the EMI was at 904c/kg clean, a rise of 25c/kg over the pre-Christmas close and at its highest rate since May 2008.
With all the cruelty involved in "wool"... leather, meat, dairy, eggs, etc - How could anyone want to support these businesses? After all, it's not like there's not an abundance of alternatives to animal agriculture. Going vegan is the best solution for anyone concerned about health, the planet or the innocent beings slaughtered at our hand.
YAY I'M VEGAN NOW AND NOUNTLESS SHEEP ARE SAVED FROM THIS BECAUSE I DON'T EAT MEAT OR DAIRY PRUDUCTS OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG how the hell does not eating meat or dairy products prevent this kind of stuff from happening? >_>
@Zodiac11111 By not contributing to the demand for animal products I am no longer responsible for suffering. In the short term it only seems to affect me and my consience. Long term, by making this stand I help people to become aware of the issues and encourage others to stop being mindless, selfish consumers. In time, my hope is that vegetarianism and veganism grows and the demand for animal products diminishes.
@NadimahElizabeth your a fucken clown. just because this happens doesn't mean people will stop eating meat. wake up to yourself. I'am going to eat some lamb now. getting kind of hungry. stupid hippy
@shereboi What are you talking about? Are you responding to something I wrote? Most people commenting on this video are having a respectful debate and then you come along trolling and using bad language. Just goes to show what kind of person you are.
@NadimahElizabeth yeah i was responding to everything you wrote actually. its all complete bullshit from someone who doesn't have any idea. and ill use language i want you pommy prick.
@shereboi Of course you will, you only care about yourself. I care that I don't offend others, I care whether or not my choices affect people or animals in a negative way. I'm not really sure whats got you so fired up, maybe you are realizing that you can't shut out the pain forever with your selfish attitude and the fact that other people are willing to stand for something threatens your way of coping. I feel sorry for you.
@NadimahElizabeth i dont want you to feel sorry for me you fool. but you sound like an absolute brain so you tell me how to fix the flystrike problems this bloke is having?? and you got me fired up when you started talking shit and non sence. so probably better if you stop commenting on shit you have no idea about.
@NadimahElizabeth what are you twelve??? i need a "time out". you serious. just waiting for an explanation on what this bloke should do to fix his flystrike problem though???? what should he do hey????????
@NadimahElizabeth where is he going,to get irrigation water to grow vegatables????? and also the capital to set up such an expensive operation?? just shows what a fuckwit you are. also doesn't matter how many sheep you have. even one sheep will get flystrike you dumb shit. now go shut up and dont write ridiculous comments
@shereboi It takes people like you to keep such sad buisinesses in operation. If you have the desire to change something then anything is possible, even collecting and storing water in a desert. You desire to keep things as they are so why do you respond to me? I lost respect for you with your first mean comment.
@NadimahElizabeth how is earning a livelyhood sad?? just cause you live on the dole and do nothing with your life doesn't mean you can call someones job and business sad you fuckhead. also you cant collect and hold water in a desert. it will evaporate. your so ignorant and stupid. your right i shouldn't repond to you but you say such stupid shit its hard to not respond. and i never had repect for you so doesn't worry me at all. your a fuck.
@shereboi Again with the insults and bad words. Water won't evaporate in a closed tank now will it? Even in a desert, silly person. Earning a livelihood isn't sad at all, being heartless is. Having to resort to insults and bad words is a sad statement about your level of intelligence. Anything else?
@shereboi On the contrary, most desert areas have some level of rainfall but you aren't going to graze many sheep in a desert now so 'gathering water in a desert' was a metaphore, silly billy. Admit it, you missed me and came back for more.
@NadimahElizabeth I think some people are suffering the effects of too much meat in their diet and it's causing all this anger! I totally agree with your comments - the only way to stop the cruelty is to become vegan. The other important issue is that the Earth cannot continue to sustain the human population on a meat based diet...
The Wool Carbon Alliance applauds world leaders serious about mitigating climate change, particularly those leading by example by wearing wool at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP15.
Wool suits, jackets and coats can all be seen at the conference, an example of a natural thermal insulator with the capacity to reduce our reliance on heating from fossil fuels.
u just have to larf at the ignorance these total morons leave on here from pet lovers that would save a dog or worse...a sheep befor a human to people that have no understanding for animals at all let alone no how to manage livestock on a farm and keep everything runing to sum it up these dreamers live in lar lar land in the hope of the world turning vegan and all the fences being tawn down and the animals running free wile the humans turn green from eating to many cabbages TOTAL LOOSER freaks
How about we help, EVERYONE? And you will give a care about homeless people when you become homeless. But hopefully, someone will be there to give you food anyways, even thought you didn't care before. Please stop spreading filth.
A letter obtained by Rural Press from Marks and Spencer head of Technology Krishan Hundal to WA farmers says: "We appreciate that there is no single solution to replace surgical mulesing, and we remain fully committed to working with the Australian wool industry, with the long term view that breeding programs are introduced to produce bare breached sheep."
It adds that it recognises an alternative to surgical mulesing could take up to a decade or more to achieve.
i think its important to keep focused on breeding the rite stock so they dont need mulesd in order to do this one has to "cull the inferior" stock which i think should be done to a inferior human like your self u supervegan cull for leaveing such STUPID comments u should have 2 black ear tags put in boath ears so no1 makes the mistake of breeding with u or if u showed any compassion 4 your fellow humans ud just throw ur self head first in2 the offal pit...
In fact Australias livestock industry has already reduced its emissions by 4.7% since 1992, Mr Palmer said.
During the same period, GHG emissions from electricity generation increased by 47.3% and transport by 27.4%*. (*Source: Department of Environment and Climate Change)
The current rules for measuring GHG emissions also fail to take into account the positive contribution that livestock producers make by storing carbon in the soil.
There should be no sheep industry in Australia as it's rooted the environment. Then there'd be no flyblown sheep and we could have a chance of reforesting the "wheat/sheep belt".
Mulesing is a convenience for farmers so that they don't have to put extra work (that they probably cant afford anyway) into taking care of their sheep. It is not a heavensent for the animal. But if a farmer absolutely will not put effort into his sheep, or doesnt have the time/money to explore other alternatives, then the sheep is better off to be mulesed than nothing.
BY the look of this Bye Bye Belly, You obviously know stuff all about sheep. But like all ignorant ARA's you think that just because you have a pet cat you know all about animals.
Now tell the truth, have you ever seen a sheep in real life? or are you a U tube expert like most of the other ignorant animal liberation nut jobs.
hi ByeBye, yes your comments are very acurate indeed, here is some advise though do not bother trying to reason with sheep farmers they simply exploit the animals they profit from, they use any exuse to justify their sadistic practices, live export is evil and every wool producer in Australia will forever have blood on his hands....cruel farming of course does not stop at sheep abuse, farmers in general exploit all animals, pigs, cattle the lot.....
50 years the animal rights movement have tried to stop the Fur industry: Here is what they have achieved:
Around the late 1970s and early 1980s, the annual global mink harvest, an industry benchmark, bottomed out at about 22 million. Now, the mink harvest is a record-beating 55 million and expanding
According to the International Fur Trade Association, retail sales of fur hit $14 billion in 2006, growing 6 percent
When you get people fighting for animals, what is it about? The animals. When you get people fighting for pro-meat eating, pro- live export, pro fur etc... what is it about? The people themselves. Fact is that animal welfare activists do it for selfless reasons and anti-animal activists opinions are based on fear of giving up meat, fear of losing money etc.
Australian sheep farmers will do anything to justify their cruelty towards the animals they profit from. Thank god for the likes of PETA...Mulesing, live export it is sick and sadistic and it is about time Aussie sheep farmers were stopped from treating sheep in the most obscene ways, those who mulse and live export will forever have blood on their hands, simple as that. Dont want a response I have scene how Australian sheep farmers operate and I will never change my mind. Im on PETA's side.
Unanesthetised mulesing is disgusting and completely inconsiderate to the animal. Anesthetised is of course better for the sheep, but the fact is, that is farmers just practiced regular Crutching, Mulesing is not needed. So why don't they do that? Because they would have to spend more labour on regularly crutching the sheep. It's all a money game. Most animal abuse stems from greed for money and profit. And yes, live export is evil and should be completely illegal
I have treated many flownblown sheep, they were left to die by farmers who simply didn't give a damn, several of them had been mulesed...cannot wait until the Aussie wool industry loses another huge overseas buyer because it cannot meet the 2010 deadline....ByeBye, the truth is farmers don't care that their lambs are strapped down while their flesh is hacked off, they stand their and watch these lambs thrashing around in pain....they couldn't care less....
"However, I do think it was terribly irresponsible of the farmers to breed a type of sheep that would need mulesing in the first place. Too many animals suffer horribly because of a bred-in trait that was detrimental to its health - and I know that from hands-on experience."
I agree very much with this statement, I have seen in my research regarding dog and cat breeding too that terrible prices can be paid by animals for the desires of humans for an animal of a certain shape or size.
Sheep are not at all like some funny breed of Dog or cat.
The info you have is obviously from Peta Videos, I can assure you it is misleading and not accurate. Their description of the Aussie Wool industry is so fat from the truth. So that people like you who don't understand think it must be the way Peta says it is.
Mulesing is not like the Peta video
Pain treatment and post operation care are the normal practice Contra to Peta's claims
For the record I am not a peta-ite, i actually have MANY problems with them and their campaigns. I am not talking about sheep as a species being created, just certain kinds being refined over hundreds of years as dogs and cats have been. I'm going to send you a PM later because I have some questions to ask and always prefer to learn first hand from the experts.
I think that is interesting as well. I don't see a reason why the vast majority of African-Americans would have voted that way, so I can only assume it was by chance for now. Perhaps African-Americans have a tendancy to be 'conservative.' (Anyone else think it's silly that people use this euphamism for homophobia?)
I know this. But surely this is not the only demographic that voted for religious reasons. Perhaps it was also the stigma that you're not 'black enough' if you're gay. Then again, some say you are not 'black enough' if you choose some other religions or no religion at all.
I have never heard my black friends say stuff like that and they are very religious. Religion is the main reason pro 8 passed. There are more religious people out there than people that support gay marriage.
ALL reasons for homophobia stem from religion. For example, 'Homosexuality isn't natural.' Says who? Nature? No. But the Bible implies that is not natural.
I think it's a little more complex. A lot of religious ppl aren't so severe and aren't really concerned about interfering with the personal lives of others.
I know this. But the majority of people who voted for prop 9 did so for religious reasons. I'd say only a small percentage voted for it because they think homosexuality is 'icky.'
"People who don't know us, who have nothing to lose by our decisions, had the opportunity to decide for us this most private and personal decision. That is a personally painful position to be in, whichever way it goes."
Well, that's why we are a democratic republic. We have the Constitution to protect our rights. If we were a full democracy, the LGBTQ community would have no chance. Nor would women, African-Americans, etc.
Our Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, which protects our civil rights. Look up 'List of amendments to the United States Constitution' on Wikipedia or Google and you'll see what they are.
Well that doesn't include if you're GBTQ then I guess. I'm sorry I don't like it when others can make decisions for you that as nothing to do with others.
I do not like it either. But we have the Constitution to defend our rights and people will come to realize it. Civil rights movements never fail, they never give up and the LGBTQ community is determined.
Hi every body take a look at this Comment from KnittyGrittyNatch:
Check out her channel obviously a true vegan
Like all good vegans they watch the video "Earthlings"
Notice she has a cat. I wonder if it is a vegan, it is 11 years old, I doubt cats can live on just vegetables alone. SO what is in the cat food it eats?
Let me see Vegans say NO meat, milk cheese, eggs, leather, Fur, wool. That is if your a human, but if your a CAT you can eat what you like.
'how do you stop the feces getting stuck to the wool' That is why they practice mulesing in the first place. They don't want to look after their sheep because time is money. Instead, they want to breed the sheep to have saggy, wrinkly skin to grow more wool and chop of their backside with garden shears.
and do you think farmers have lots of money because they don't earn much we are in a 10 year drought bushfires are ripping through whole towns killing hundreds and here is peta abuseing us for making a living and feeding the world
First of all, this campaign started *before* the bushfires. Second of all, I'm from California. We experience bushfires every year in October; yet we do not use this as an excuse. We just passed prop 2, for the better treatment of animals. Bushfires is no excuse to treat animals inhumanely and is completely irrelevant.
your in the city though aren't you whole town were wiped out thousands of homes destroyed in the north hurricanes and smashing down on the coast the rest of the country is in drought and the Tasmania people will not give victoria a drop of water our government is making a pipe from north eastern victoria to melbourne to send melbourne water but we don't have any but people don't build a pipe to send floodwaters in queensland to here do they we need people to kick peta off the mainland
Because prop 2 was the absolute bare minimum. Had prop 2 not passed, nothing would have happened. Yet, just because prop 8 passed, no one is giving up.
That's because animals aren't kept in "tiny" cages. And you only answered half of my question. Most animals rights people think animals are equal to humans. So to them, there shouldn't be a difference between animal rights and human rights. If the people that voted for prop 2 voted against prop 8, people that actually love each other would be able to get married. Think about it.
Chickens are kept in battery cages and pigs are kept in gestation crates. This is not something PetA or anyone made up out of thin air. After all, if they weren't, then what would be the point of prop 2? Why would farmers complain about having to change their farms?
Animals have the same right to not be exploited. Most people don't understand this fully and assume this means animals will have all of the same rights.
Who says the people that voted for prop 2 voted against prop 8?
Because otherwise prop 8 wouldn't have been passed. If that many people voted for prop 2, prop 8 shouldn't have been passed if the ones that voted for prop 2 voted no for prop 8.
Exactly, they didn't care about their fellow humans having the right to marry. They only cared about the animals and the other stuff and not their fellow humans.
Worst smell ever. Apart from the shit that dribbles from peta's mouth!

Flystrike this bad is caused by lack of monitoring & late treatment not being unmulesed.

It has no effect on shoulder, back and pizzle strike which are extremely common and just as deadly. Even mulesed sheep suffer and die from flystrike because they are not checked and treated soon enough, as in this video. The only solution is VERY FREQUENT CHECKING, EARLY TREATMENT WITH INSECTICIDAL POWDER, OIL OR SPRAY, and careful aftercare for more advanced cases.

@StebobG Aussie farmers are brutal. I should know I have lived and worked on them all my life
SPoken like a typical animal liberationist. I condem the neglect of the sheep in this video, BUT you are trying to brand all farmers with this.
This is why you are just some filthy bigoted vegan No brains and BIG mouth.

Of course this poor animal died. It was not found soon enough but left until the injury was too serious. Why let it get into this state, which would have taken about 10 days. Also it was not treated correctly, no flystrike powder, oil or spray was applied, it was machine shorn with a wound which would have felt like 3rd degree burns. It recieved no antibiotics for blood poisoning nor pain relief. Was it even kept out of the sun after shearing or did it have to suffer severe sunburn as well?

Osamu Aoyama, head of the world's large apparel retailer, Aoyama.
He says Aoyama intends to sell Woolmark suits that are labelled according to their CO2 credentials.
Aoyama last week signed The Merino Company a three-year agreement to supply 2000 bales a year of 17.5 to 18.5-micron wool for the production of men's suits that meet the carbon criteria.

A three-year, multi-million dollar wool supply deal has been signed between an Australian company and the world's largest suit retailer.
The Merino Company will provide thousands of bales to Aoyama, which will market the woollen suits as carbon neutral.
Aoyama is fighting to retain market share after the global financial crisis, when meant Japanese men purchased fewer suits.
It'll marketing its carbon-free credentials as a point of difference in an attempt to attract customers.

Wednesdays opening Newcastle sale was well supported by
Italian buyers, who helped push fine and superfine micron
wools up beyond 100 cents higher. Spinners and best style
wools were well sought after and attracted most gains. Other

@OonaCanute TWO mobs of sheep were grazing in London's fashionable Savile Row this week to promote the natural advantages of wool. The sheep were there to promote the start of the five-year Campaign for Wool, which has been endorsed by Prince Charles.
Australian Wool Innovation has committed $150,000 to the first year of the campaign, which is also being supported by New Zealand and South African producers, the British Wool Marketing Board and key UK retailers and brands.

WOOL prices have reached their highest levels in US dollar terms in 20 years, with growers finally positioned to reaping the benefits of a long-term global shift in demand. The Eastern Market Indicator closed last at 949 cents Independent analyst, said this was the highest level wool had traded in US dollar terms since March, 1989
AWI’s market intelligence and trade reporting manager, Paul Swan, said new markets and changing demand for Merino wool had helped swing wool’s fortunes.

Many US brands and retailers viewed AWIs Merino knitwear innovations, for the autumn winter 2011/12 retail selling season, at last weeks SpinExpo trade event in New York. US brands and retailers who visited the AWI stand to examine the innovations included Gap, Club Monaco, Dillard’s, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Lands’ End, Macy’s, PVH, Calvin Klein, Victorinox and Marc Jacobs. The AWI collections had been a great success, and that US interest in natural fibres had been the best for many years.

@mermaidiliana And how do you propose we prevent Fly strike. HMMMM, Do you not think fly strike is much worse considering it often leads to the death of sheep.
Davobeff 1 year ago
@Davobeff You can't prevent fly strike. Mulesing ony reduces the chances of being struck. Sometimes sheep are struck because flies are attracted to the mulseing injury. Most sheep afflicted by flystrike are themselves mulsed. You can't defend mutilating an animal which is being exploited like that, the answer is to stop farming them.

@NadimahElizabeth Mulesing is a prevention method, not saying it doesn't happen though. I have rarely seen lambs fly struck after being mulesed.

Don't be silly, this is the result of flystrike not being unmulsed! The reason people do such a barbaric thing isn't to stop suffering because mulesing is as bad and it is done to more sheep than ever would get flysrtike. For farmers it is about profit. They would lose money hiring people to maintain a proper inspection of the flock and they would lose money on culling or treating the injured. So they mutilate the entire flock because it is easier on them.
NadimahElizabeth 1 year ago
@NadimahElizabeth You seem as though you know all about sheep and fly strike.
But clearly you have NO idea! The lamb in the video was Fly struck BECAUSE it was not mulesed, fool.
The wool around the lambs tail got dirty and smelly that is what attracted the fly's to it.
1. Mulesing is done with pain relief. But being fly struck there is NO pain relief treatment.
Farmers are about caring for their animals. People like you have no idea and just don’t understand.

@NadimahElizabeth why would they need to hire people? for that matter why would they even bother putting rams with their ewe if they wanted the lambs to die?
Davobeff 1 year ago
@Davobeff Sorry but I don't understand your comment. I didn't say farmers wanted lambs to die. I said that in order to thoroughly inspect an overly huge flock of sheep in the humane way (without mutilating them) a farmer would not be able to do so alone; he would have to hire help to do so. Hiring help would cut into his profits. Mutilating his lambs reduces but does not eliminate the chance of fly strike and means he can maintain his flock with less cost. Savvy?

In fact Australias livestock industry has already reduced its emissions by 4.7% since 1992, Mr Palmer said.
During the same period, GHG emissions from electricity generation increased by 47.3% and transport by 27.4%*. (*Source: Department of Environment and Climate Change)

Mulesing is a convenience for farmers so that they don't have to put extra work (that they probably cant afford anyway) into taking care of their sheep. It is not a heavensent for the animal. But if a farmer absolutely will not put effort into his sheep, or doesnt have the time/money to explore other alternatives, then the sheep is better off to be mulesed than nothing.

If you don't mules a sheep and just leave it in a paddock to rot, of course it is gonna get all fly blown.
But there are other options, and regular crutching works. When crutching doesn't work, it's because the farmers didn't do it often enough.

Unanesthetised mulesing is disgusting and completely inconsiderate to the animal. Anesthetised is of course better for the sheep, but the fact is, that is farmers just practiced regular Crutching, Mulesing is not needed. So why don't they do that? Because they would have to spend more labour on regularly crutching the sheep. It's all a money game. Most animal abuse stems from greed for money and profit. And yes, live export is evil and should be completely illegal

"However, I do think it was terribly irresponsible of the farmers to breed a type of sheep that would need mulesing in the first place. Too many animals suffer horribly because of a bred-in trait that was detrimental to its health - and I know that from hands-on experience."

For the record I am not a peta-ite, i actually have MANY problems with them and their campaigns. I am not talking about sheep as a species being created, just certain kinds being refined over hundreds of years as dogs and cats have been. I'm going to send you a PM later because I have some questions to ask and always prefer to learn first hand from the experts.

I think that is interesting as well. I don't see a reason why the vast majority of African-Americans would have voted that way, so I can only assume it was by chance for now. Perhaps African-Americans have a tendancy to be 'conservative.' (Anyone else think it's silly that people use this euphamism for homophobia?)

"I don't see a reason why the vast majority of African-Americans would have voted that way"
Actually, many African-Americans are really religious.
ironman711 2 years ago
I know this. But surely this is not the only demographic that voted for religious reasons. Perhaps it was also the stigma that you're not 'black enough' if you're gay. Then again, some say you are not 'black enough' if you choose some other religions or no religion at all.
KnittyGrittyNatch 2 years ago
I have never heard my black friends say stuff like that and they are very religious. Religion is the main reason pro 8 passed. There are more religious people out there than people that support gay marriage.
ironman711 2 years ago
ALL reasons for homophobia stem from religion. For example, 'Homosexuality isn't natural.' Says who? Nature? No. But the Bible implies that is not natural.
That is my observation.
KnittyGrittyNatch 2 years ago
I think it's a little more complex. A lot of religious ppl aren't so severe and aren't really concerned about interfering with the personal lives of others.

I know this. But the majority of people who voted for prop 9 did so for religious reasons. I'd say only a small percentage voted for it because they think homosexuality is 'icky.'
KnittyGrittyNatch 2 years ago
I don't understand prop 9. I'm English and generally we don't interfere in ppls personal lives.

Hmm.. true the weakness of a democracy the fact that those in a minority get over looked.
davidshaw123451 2 years ago
Well, that's why we are a democratic republic. We have the Constitution to protect our rights. If we were a full democracy, the LGBTQ community would have no chance. Nor would women, African-Americans, etc.
KnittyGrittyNatch 2 years ago
Well you should have a human rights bill as a back up.
davidshaw123451 2 years ago
Our Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, which protects our civil rights. Look up 'List of amendments to the United States Constitution' on Wikipedia or Google and you'll see what they are.
KnittyGrittyNatch 2 years ago
Well that doesn't include if you're GBTQ then I guess. I'm sorry I don't like it when others can make decisions for you that as nothing to do with others.
davidshaw123451 2 years ago
I do not like it either. But we have the Constitution to defend our rights and people will come to realize it. Civil rights movements never fail, they never give up and the LGBTQ community is determined.

This could have been avoided if you didn't let it's feces get stuck in the wool.
Oh and you can really tell how much they care about these sheep because of the way he's being handled, right?
He just sees them as profit.

Hi every body take a look at this Comment from KnittyGrittyNatch:
Check out her channel obviously a true vegan
Like all good vegans they watch the video "Earthlings"
Notice she has a cat. I wonder if it is a vegan, it is 11 years old, I doubt cats can live on just vegetables alone. SO what is in the cat food it eats?
Let me see Vegans say NO meat, milk cheese, eggs, leather, Fur, wool. That is if your a human, but if your a CAT you can eat what you like.
Who said vegans arent hypocrites
waratahNSW 3 years ago
Look at how you gets erratic at the mention of veganism. My comment posed that much of a threat to you? No, you must have seen my channel. ;)
I question as to why you would change this to a response to one of my videos, which really has no relation. I suspect you want to pull in my viewers.

KnittyGrittyNatch how do you stop the feces getting stuck to the wool and if you don't handel it right it escapes
Casey2345678 3 years ago
'how do you stop the feces getting stuck to the wool' That is why they practice mulesing in the first place. They don't want to look after their sheep because time is money. Instead, they want to breed the sheep to have saggy, wrinkly skin to grow more wool and chop of their backside with garden shears.
Mulesing is NOT the right solution to flystrike.
KnittyGrittyNatch 3 years ago
what it the solution then
Casey2345678 3 years ago
I've already said 'This could have been avoided if you didn't let it's feces get stuck in the wool.'
Why wait until they get flystrike? Shave off the wool on their bottoms.
I hope you realize this is a man-made problem. Farmers bred them to have saggy skin to grow more wool.

why should we they are pain free after 2 hours people circumsize in America and why is the not banned fix your own problems
Casey2345678 3 years ago
What makes circumcision acceptable? Circumcision is a barbaric practice that is also done without anesthesia.
Why is any mutilation acceptable without consent? I can see that you never really question what is right or wrong.
KnittyGrittyNatch 3 years ago
i said circumcision is bad
Casey2345678 3 years ago
'circumsize in America and why is the not banned'
You said this to justify mulesing.
KnittyGrittyNatch 3 years ago
you people get away with it
Casey2345678 3 years ago
i meant the lambs are pain free
Casey2345678 3 years ago
and do you think farmers have lots of money because they don't earn much we are in a 10 year drought bushfires are ripping through whole towns killing hundreds and here is peta abuseing us for making a living and feeding the world
Casey2345678 3 years ago
First of all, this campaign started *before* the bushfires. Second of all, I'm from California. We experience bushfires every year in October; yet we do not use this as an excuse. We just passed prop 2, for the better treatment of animals. Bushfires is no excuse to treat animals inhumanely and is completely irrelevant.

your in the city though aren't you whole town were wiped out thousands of homes destroyed in the north hurricanes and smashing down on the coast the rest of the country is in drought and the Tasmania people will not give victoria a drop of water our government is making a pipe from north eastern victoria to melbourne to send melbourne water but we don't have any but people don't build a pipe to send floodwaters in queensland to here do they we need people to kick peta off the mainland

This happens ALL the time here.

"We just passed prop 2, for the better treatment of animals"
Yet prop 8 didn't pass and that would have been better treatment for fellow humans. You think that's fair?
ironman711 3 years ago
It's oranges and apples. Two different things.
No one has given up. We're still fighting to reverse prop 8.
KnittyGrittyNatch 3 years ago
How is animal rights different from human rights when most animals rights people say animals are equal to humans?
ironman711 3 years ago
Because prop 2 was the absolute bare minimum. Had prop 2 not passed, nothing would have happened. Yet, just because prop 8 passed, no one is giving up.
KnittyGrittyNatch 3 years ago
That's because animals aren't kept in "tiny" cages. And you only answered half of my question. Most animals rights people think animals are equal to humans. So to them, there shouldn't be a difference between animal rights and human rights. If the people that voted for prop 2 voted against prop 8, people that actually love each other would be able to get married. Think about it.
ironman711 3 years ago
Chickens are kept in battery cages and pigs are kept in gestation crates. This is not something PetA or anyone made up out of thin air. After all, if they weren't, then what would be the point of prop 2? Why would farmers complain about having to change their farms?
Animals have the same right to not be exploited. Most people don't understand this fully and assume this means animals will have all of the same rights.
Who says the people that voted for prop 2 voted against prop 8?
KnittyGrittyNatch 3 years ago
Because otherwise prop 8 wouldn't have been passed. If that many people voted for prop 2, prop 8 shouldn't have been passed if the ones that voted for prop 2 voted no for prop 8.
ironman711 3 years ago
You're still assuming they are the same people. You can choose not to vote on a proposition.
KnittyGrittyNatch 3 years ago
Exactly, they didn't care about their fellow humans having the right to marry. They only cared about the animals and the other stuff and not their fellow humans.
