Australian animal welfare groups call for mulesing ban by 2030, urging govts to support flystrike-resistant sheep and pain management.
Animal welfare groups in Australia, including the Australian Alliance for Animals, are calling for a ban on mulesing by 2030, as outlined in their report, "The Broken Promise." They urge federal and state governments to intervene and promote flystrike-resistant sheep types while mandating pain management practices. The report also criticizes the wool industry for promoting mulesed wool as high welfare. The Australian wool industry has been working on transitioning to non-mulesed sheep.
