Every year, 10 million Australian lambs endure the agony of live lamb cutting (also known as mulesing), a brutal and outdated practice that’s been condemned worldwide.
Over twenty years ago the wool industry promised to end live lamb cutting. They broke that promise. Since that broken promise, more than 140 million lambs have been forced to suffer the fear and extreme pain of the mutilation that is live lamb cutting.
The industry had its chance to change. It’s time for the government to step in and end this suffering.
Agriculture Ministers across Australia have the power to stop live lamb cutting. But they need to hear from you.
Your voice can push them to take action and finally put an end to this outdated and barbaric practice.
Lambs need your voice. Email your state Agriculture Minister now and demand they legislate an end to live lamb cutting today.
Recent polling showed that 73% of Australian are opposed to live lamb cutting.
Government can and must do better for our lambs. It’s time they listened.
The solution to live lamb cutting exists: breeding flystrike-resistant sheep, a humane and effective alternative that is already in use. Thousands of wool growers are breeding sheep that do not need to be live lamb cut. Yet, the wool industry continues to waste millions of taxpayer dollars funding failed alternatives instead of embracing a known solution.
It’s time to hold our Agriculture Ministers accountable. They have the power to stop this cruelty, and your voice can make it happen. Take action now—email your Agriculture Minister today. Demand they legislate a date to ban live lamb cutting.
Your action will make a difference. Together, we can end this suffering.
