After 11 Exposés, PETA Sheep Go Coast to Coast With Wool-Free Message
PETA has released 11 exposés of 99 sheep operations on four continents that have revealed that sheep are systemically beaten, kicked, punched, and mutilated in the wool industry. Impatient workers have been caught punching, kicking, and stomping on sheep, some of whom die from the abuse. When the animals are no longer profitable to the wool industry, they’re slaughtered.
After proving again and again that there’s no such thing as “humane wool,” we’re taking that message from coast to coast, urging everyone to have compassion for sheep and to stop supporting cruelty by refusing to buy wool. Instead, we’re asking consumers to choose from the dozens of warm, stylish, cruelty-free materials that are available everywhere and are made from eco-friendly plants and recycled synthetics for which no animal was killed.

One of our sheep images graces this prominent billboard in San Bernardino, California, strategically placed near a Forever 21 store. PETA is calling on the chain to ban wool and modernize its brand by exclusively selling the various vegan wool alternatives that it already offers.
We placed the same ad in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, near the Hilldale shopping center to urge consumers to protect sheep by refusing to buy or wear wool.
