PETA Halts Campaign Against Benetton

After nearly a year of vigorous campaigning to urge Benetton not to use wool that comes from Australian lambs subjected to the 'mulesing' mutilation and live sheep exported overseas in horrific conditions, the international retail giant has announced that it is backing the landmark agreement between the Australian Wool Growers Association (AWGA) and PETA that has led to a new brand of wool. The new brand comes from farmers who are part of a structured plan to end mulesing and live
exports. In Benetton's letter to the AWGA, the company agreed to buy this new brand of wool and urged 'the entire Australian wool industry' to adopt the agreement, which will end the two cruelest practices in Australian sheep farming.
