PETA Statement on NZ Government’s Shearing Industry Welfare Programme
“The punching, kicking, and stomping that PETA documented were already part of a welfare program. We have been to over a hundred sheds on five continents, and the treatment is the same everywhere. When animals are treated as economic commodities, welfare loses out to economics every time.
A year on from our case, there is still not a single live feed coming from a single shed, because the industry would never dare show the world that shearing is anything but ‘just a haircut.’ Regardless of what PR moves the industry or government throws up, there is no such thing as humane wool. Anyone who cares about sheep doesn’t wear wool.”
