PLEASE click this link and leave comments AGAINST the proposed ban of over-the-counter antibiotic sales! This video does not show anything ghastly; it's an educational video showing how to crutch a non-mulesed Merino. Note how stretchy and wrinkly the lamb is, as well as how much wool is left on the rear end AFTER shearing! Can you imagine if that poor thing was left out all summer? Flies galore! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mogTuP9qjvY I also want to highlight producers that have made the switch of their own accord: https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/livestock-parasites/managing-non-mulesed-sheep?page=0%2C3 https://www.historic-newspapers.co.uk/blog/1929-timeline/ https://kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/what-is-flystrike-and-what-is-the-rspcas-view-on-mulesing-and-flystrike-prevention-in-sheep/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-udsIV4Hmc https://onpasture.com/2017/05/29/the-importance-of-tail-docking-lambs/ http://www.sheep101.info/201/dockcastrate.html https://kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/are-there-animal-welfare-issues-with-the-use-of-steining-as-an-alternative-to-mulesing-to-reduce-flystrike-risk-in-sheep/ https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-08-09/italian-buyers-frustrated-by-ongoing-mulesed-wool-problem/8744944 https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/livestock-parasites/managing-non-mulesed-sheep?page=0%2C2
