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

England – Robert Plant – ‘Kashmir’ To ‘Cashmere’ ?

Any Englishman, like me, of an older age, fondly remembers the days of Led Zeppelin and their frontman Robert Plant. In a clever twist, ‘Planty’, who I follow greatly, has been asked by Peta UK to rename the Led Zepp classic ‘Kashmir’ into ‘Cashmere’ to celebrate Plant Wool Month which lasts throughout November.

Robert is a legend in the UK, and worldwide. Knowing his views on many issues, I really hope that he will support Peta with their request.

Here is the original ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zepp.
