Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 The thing I would say about wool is not only the arguement that some sheep will die during the shearing process from shock/loss of blood - clumsy shearer etc but for me veganism is a lot about distancing myself as far as possible from factory farming. Sheep have been selectively bred to produce a ridiculous amount of wool-did you really think shearing was natural? It's also intensive farming of sentient beings which I do not agree with. That's just the way I see it. Also-took part in the protest in Plymouth-great turnout, loads of people from as far afield as Southampton and Birmingham-thankyou to everyone who turned up to let people know we're not going to let it all happen quietly just because we're Plymouth. Some people were arrested for sitting down near the entrance of the main Dockyard gates-they were read their rights twice, asked to leave and refused so were arrested-all in good cause. Would have stayed and joined the party down at the cop shop but figured it was too much hassle this time. I marched with some friends of mine holding a banner reading www.indymedia.org.uk -which you can check out for photos, news and maybe a video?? of what happened today.
