Mulesing

Sometimes you can't believe what people are doing to sheep.
Sir Rantzalot noticed me on some truely bad practices in Australia called mulesing:

Can you imagine the public outcry if someone grabbed a dog and sliced away skin and flesh the size of a dinner plate from around its anus and tail with a pair of shears and without anaesthetic.
Well Australian protection laws, whilst prohibiting such cruelty on companion animals, allow this gory primitive act to be carried out on millions of sheep each year.

If you have a strong stomache (there is one gruesome picture) and are prepared to read about this abuse, just read the article on Mulesing from Animal Liberation. Perhaps you can help prevent such misbehaviour...
They should be cuddling those sheep!
