@sinituulia i hear what you’re saying, but i’m not sure sheep should be forced to bear the direct burden of humans’ fundamentally broken fashion system. is a coat that lasts a human 20 years worth the entire life of another being, especially when ethical, sustainable plant fibres exist? i know wool has specific properties that make it desirable to humans, but does that give us the right to take it?
i acknowledge that we’ve gotten ourselves into a huge mess right now and that it’s not as simple as “everyone switch to plant fibres right now”. but i also think the recent movement encouraging a wider adoption of wool — without acknowledging or discussing the very real trade-offs — has dire consequences for all lives on this planet.
