Australia’s Ultra-Fine Wool Industry

Ultra-fine wool growing is an intensive animal industry. Specially-bred sheep are kept indoors in individual small pens 24 hours a day for four or five years.

    TRUTH: There is only one such operation in Australia that does this with sheep in little pens. All self-respecting sheep farmers hate it as well, so please dont condemn the rest of us because of what these fools do.

    derrrr tastychops this is not about meat so get over your obsession with meat eating, it is about wool production, all your good for is attacking people who do not eat meat and your not even good at that actually, you keep making a total idiot out of yourself and showing yourself up for the ignorant fool you are, you say none of this goes on, hey moron take a drive to horsham and look through the windows of the sheds these sheep are in and see for yourself, damn fool your a f****** d*** head.

    Tastychops your an uneducated idiot, you haven’t seen many places that confine sheep hey, have you looked??? course you haven’t as you couldn’t give a damn and there are many of these places in Australia but they are hidden, maybe go into the RSPCA’s website and have a look at what they have to say, every comment you make tastychops makes you appear more and more like the idiot you are, I have seen the Horsham Wool factories setup and i was horrified have you seen it tastychops???doubt it.

    Looks like more anti meat eating rubbish to me

    I know a lot of friends who own farms & I’ve never seen them lock up sheep like this it’s just so cruel, You can still get a really good cut of wool when the sheep graze in the paddock like all sheep should.

    This is a disgrace, no animal should be kept in a box without the opportunity to display it’s natural behaviour..chewing on wood and pacing to and fro is not natural behaviour..it is stereotypical, which is produced by boredom and frustration..

    Do you think you could go vegetarian? =)

    Well coming from the sheep industry myself…my father was a shearer. This is a load of S**T. Very few sheep spend their life like this. Get in the car, on a bus, train and go for a long drive in the country…you are a d**k.

    i just bought a pair of uggs today. oops.

    Yeah, they’re really lucky being locked in tiny pens 24 hours a day for years on end… I really hope you’re taking the piss Katrina!
