Four Paws Ups Focus On Consumer Labelling On Mulesing.

Mulesing causes terrible suffering to live lambs. Large chunks of flesh are hacked away from the animal anal region to try and control what is known as ‘fly strike’. Performed without the use of analgesics, the animals are restrained whilst shear like tools literally remove by cutting off chunks of flesh from around the anus.

I have included pictures here of animals that have suffered mulesing. This is a typical process for wool bearing animals. Regards Mark

Brazil – Court Confirms World Animal Protection’s Right To Protest Against JBS – Excellent !

The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by JBS which exposed the company’s lack of commitment to the environment, climate and animal welfare.

Possibly our flag should show:

The judge confirmed that the protests were legitimate, peaceful and based on widely known issues linked to JBS’s industrial livestock production chain. So often in the past, we have seen these rich super companies think they have the right to win over the smaller boys with their financial threats. Well now JBS has lost = and rightly !
