Is Supporting The Wool Industry Really That Cruel?

from The Minimalist Vegan Podcast · host Michael & Maša Ofei

Wool is one of the oldest and most popular fabrics in human history. What was once a resource used for survival has evolved into a commercial behemoth leading to the exploitation of sheep and lambs worldwide. However, is the wool industry really all that bad? Can we still buy products using wool as ethical consumers? Is there such thing as vegan-friendly wool? We discuss all these questions and more in this episode in an attempt to bring some clarity to an often confusing area of veganism. This episode is brought to you by Bhumi.
