„Mulesing“ means the removal of skin from the tail area of a sheep – without giving them any painkillers. This is to prevent infestation with fly maggots (myiasis). The Myiasis fly larvae is mainly native to the regions of Australia and New Zealand, where the method of mulesing is still used in conventional sheep farming. There already are alternatives to mulesing, e.g. regular controls of the sheep flocks, the use of breeds that are better adapted or lastly biological fly control. We only use mulesing-free organic virgin wool in our products and mainly source it from Argentina.
