Australia's wool industry seeks unified strategy on mulesing, balancing animal welfare, market demands, and flystrike prevention.
Sheep Producers Australia is pushing for a unified industry strategy amid ongoing debate over mulesing, a practice used to prevent flystrike in sheep.
Proponents say it improves animal welfare in harsh environments and is backed by scientific evidence, while critics, driven by international animal welfare groups, pressure supply chains to eliminate it.
Verified systems exist to guarantee mulesing-free wool, but some warn that regulatory mandates could reduce premiums and increase flystrike risks.
The industry urges SPA to listen to producers and prioritize market-based solutions over top-down policies.
