Whether a garment is made from 100% wool or only a few percent, it still contains 100% cruelty. The sheep suffer a lifetime of abuse if they are used for the wool trade. Although the following PETA Investigation was from more than 30 shearing sheds in the U.S. and Australia it still uncovers the abuse that sheep endure for their coats. Shearers were caught on tape punching, kicking and stomping on sheep. They were captured hitting them in the face with electric clippers and standing on their heads, necks, and hind limbs.
One shearer was seen beating a lamb in the head with a hammer.
Another even used a sheep's body to wipe the animal's urine off the floor. And yet another shearer repeatedly twisted and bent a sheep's neck, breaking it.
