Exciting news! Maybe you already guessed from our #BeTheirVoice Reaction Videos where they spoke out for lambs impacted by the cruel procedure of live lamb cutting (mulesing), but Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop have officially teamed up with FOUR PAWS USA to lend their voices as our new Lamb Ambassadors.
If you didn’t grow up with these icons, Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop are a famous television and social media duo. Plus, Lamb Chop is the most beloved dog toy in America! Unlike lambs impacted by this cruel practice, Lamb Chop has always had a voice. Now it’s up to all of us to #BeTheirVoice!
🐑 What is "Live Lamb Cutting?" (mulesing) 🐑
Live lamb cutting is a procedure where large pieces of skin and flesh are sliced around a lamb’s buttocks and is often accomplished at the same time as tail docking. This procedure is done without necessary pain management.
🚜 So, why do the farmers do it? 🚜
Live lamb cutting is considered a "necessary evil" by Australian farmers of Merino sheep. Merinos have been overbred to bare excessive wrinkles, which was believed to allow greater wool production. However, these wrinkles often trap excess moisture, feces, and urine, and put the sheep at increased risk of flystrike. Thus, the farmers "remove" the wrinkles around the lamb’s buttocks to reduce this risk.
However, this cruel husbandry is only practiced in Australia – the biggest wool producer for the global fashion market.
We are calling on fashion brands and the Australian government to ban live lamb cutting. With viable solutions available there is no place for live lamb cutting. Fashion brands should only source certified wool free from live lamb cutting (mulesing). The more people and brands unite in their call for a ban, the more farmers will transition to flystrike-resistant breeding of Merinos (which is a pain-free solution).
