A warning before you watch this. The wool industry can be a cruel one, and this video contains some very graphic images. It does not have to be this way, but it most cases.. it is.

That’s the thing. Like Nour mentioned, it was news for her. Wool farming seems like it would be harmless, after all, it’s not skin, or flesh, it’s excess hair. But it is cruel, and the majority of people wearing wool sweaters or socks right now have no idea what they have paid for. |

That is just sick. I consider myself fairly well knowledgeable about the “behind-the-scenes” stuff that goes on in various industries, but had no idea about the wool trade. Animals were not meant to be industrialized! Why do we not know about this crap? (I know the obvious answer but am still upset about it) Thanks for the informative vid |

It’s just near impossible to tell what you’re buying and supporting. The world is a scary place. Thanks for posting this. |
