This time they have done a good thing. M&S, Next and a few other high street retailers are threatening to boycott Australian wool producers if they continue to use the cruel practice of 'Mulesing'. Basically if you own a merino wool jumper you might not know it but the poor little lamb might have had it's backside skinned (with no anaesthetic) to stop blowfly infestations. So the next time you opt for merino wool just have a think about the little lamb.
Good on the retailers for raising this little known issue...good to see they are thinking along the ethical clothing lines
