Australia is the leading producer of wool close to 90 million sheep are housed for wool, after brutal barbaric treatment, they are then shipped in sea sickening cramped ships to await the most brutal slaughter in the Middle East. Live Export it’s called.
Also the environmental effects of wool are detrimental to the environment. It requires vast amounts of land and water, and to cultivate the massive amount of food required to feed them. Sheep’s excrement deeply polluting environments locally and globally. Indeed the environmental effects of wool farming are catastrophic. It requires vast amounts of land and water, both to house and hydrate the sheep and to cultivate the massive amount of plant food required to feed them.
