Australia Dismisses Pink's Anti-wool Campaign

Hmm, neither mulesing nor fly strike are "humane"; neither involve animal rights. From Wikipedia: "Some animal rights activists consider unanesthetised mulesing to be inhumane and unnecessary. They have also argued that mulesing may mask genetic susceptibility to flystrike allowing for genetic weaknesses to be continued." This is exactly the point. Wool farmers have bred (a.k.a. genetically dominated) sheep to be susceptible to such illness. As Examiner.com vegan examiner Adam K. notes in an article on (ridiculously unnecessary) leather band-aids, "Animals do not exist in factories, animals ARE factories." Because humans have made animals into factories. They are private property: do whatever you want with them. Anything may be considered "humane" as long as it profits the humans in the end, or allows humans to maintain the status quo, i.e. not have to go through the challenge of actually changing the way we already do things. You know, challenges can be energizing, exciting, fun... and despite any of their discomforts, when it comes to social justice, they are called for and sometimes necessary.As poet Kahlil Gibran said, "if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears."Also, if the Australian climate is the problem (or maybe Australia is being targeted because it makes up 30% of the world's wool industry?), then consider that maybe sheep - at least these poor, exploited sheep - don't belong in Australia, where they'll be used for human ends alone.For more info on the wool industry, look up on Google "Inside the Wool Industry Nazarene Way."Peace.
