Christmas Jumper Day is a great holiday event, when you can have fun dressing up in festive gear while supporting important charities at the same time. However, you could be unknowingly causing harm to sheep if your jumper is made from wool.
Sheep shorn for wool are often severely mistreated and violently handled and can be injured in the process. The cruel procedure known as “mulesing” is frequently carried out, during which a slice of flesh is cut off without painkillers, which is both painful and terrifying for the animal. So why choose cruel wool when you can have one of these great alternative Christmas jumpers instead?
