Research: one in three fashion brands has no action plan against ‘mulesing’

Two-thirds of international fashion brands provide insufficient transparency on how they handle live lamb cutting (LLC), also known as ‘mulesing’. This is a painful procedure where folds of skin are cut from around a lamb's hindquarters. The findings come from a new report by the animal welfare organisation Four Paws, which surveyed more than 100 brands across eleven countries.
