Once you see the sheep, you won't believe Australia's wool industry insiders actually said these things.

Everywhere eyewitnesses from PETA and its affiliates go, they see the same disturbing behavior. This time, a visit to a massive sheep farm in Australia—the world’s top wool exporter—revealed cruelty to sheep similar to that documented in the last couple of years at dozens of farms and shearing sheds across Australia, the U.S., and Argentina. Shearers were rough, careless, and violent, hurling sheep several feet off the shearing platform, slamming them to the floor, kicking them, twisting and standing on their necks, and more.
One shearer stomped on a sheep’s face a dozen times before tearing off one of the animal’s horns. Another worker, after kicking a sheep in the face several times, said to the petrified animal, “You lay down again, you cunt, I’ll kill you.” The observer saw that same worker jam his finger into the anuses of two sheep to drive them up a ramp to the shearing stand.
As has already been documented on many farms, the shearers’ rough handling and carelessness left sheep with gaping wounds. One sheep’s leg was turned into an oozing, bloody mess by a shearer who inflicted a wound nearly a foot long that appeared to cut to the bone. To the eyewitness’s knowledge, this sheep was never provided with any veterinary care.
One supervisor slammed a lamb, named Morgan by PETA, against the wooden floor and then threw the young animal into a paddock to die. One shearer laughed as the dying lamb kicked and convulsed in the dirt.
