Avoid Wearing Wool Clothes

Becoming vegetarian is becoming love other life. So, on wearing clothes. In nature sheep produce just enough wool to keep them warm, but scientific breeding has turned them into wool-producing machines, with wool often making up half their body weight. During hot weather they often die from heat exhaustion, and in Australia alone one million sheep die each year from exposure to cold after shearing.

In order to prevent maggot infestation in the folds of skin around the sheeps' tails, farmers now perform an operation without anaesthetic called "mulesing" in which sections of flesh are sliced away, leaving a painful wound.

Sheep are treated roughly at shearing time, with serious cuts and dislocated limbs often resulting.

For example, in Australia alone, about 10 million lambs die each year when they are just a few days old. This is mainly due to unmanageable numbers of sheep and not enough farm workers. So, dont't wear wool clothes, love animal, love our body.
