Pink Boycott’s Aussie Wool
Pink is known in the entertainment world for her out-spoken behaviour, and has for quite some time been even more out-spoken on her policies of animal cruelty.
Just recently, she called pop-rival, Beyonce Knowles, a b*tch for wearing fur…and now Pink has decided to boycott Australian wool.
Pink has joined PETA’s crusade against the Australian wool industry, because even though the shearing process doesn’t particularly ‘harm’ the sheep, Pink believes that the animals are still mistreated, and sometimes end up being killed.
She held a press conference on the subject yesterday, and even released a disturbing video on the cruelty of Australian sheep. [Source]
Pink said: “I am calling on consumers to check labels on sweaters before buying them, and if they’re merino wool or made in Australia, to leave them on the racks.”
“If you’re like most people, you already refuse to wear fur because of the obvious cruelty involved, and like me, you may even look for the stylish alternatives to leather.”
Aussie Treasurer, Peter Costello, has hit back at Pink’s animal cruelty claims in the sheep industry.
“I don’t know if Pink is an expert on the sheep industry,” Mr Costello said. “You know, Pink is entitled to her views but at the end of the day would Australia’s farmers take advice from Pink?” [Source]
