LONDON – Animal rights organisation Four Paws has hailed luxury fashion brand Hugo Boss following its commitment to eradicate mulesed wool from its portfolio by 2030.
The company joins the likes of Adidas and Calvin Klein in opposing the practice, which sees strips of wool-bearing skin shorn from a sheep’s breech to prevent infection.
Four Paws UK’s head of campaigns, Emily Wilson, said: “We don’t want them [Hugo Boss] to be an anomaly … Four Paws is calling on more brands to exclude mulesed wool in order to spare more than ten million lambs in Australia from this cruel and outdated procedure.”
