Pink, together with animal rights group PETA is calling on people worldwide to boycott Australian wool products.
The PETA website will launch a video showing Australian sheep being mutilated by a practice called mulesing, where chunks of skin are taken out of their backsides.The video will show Pink saying "If you're like most people, you already refuse to wear fur because of the obvious cruelty involved, and like me, you may even look for the stylish alternatives to leather, but what about wool? Most of us have never htought about it. Sadly, like any other industry that uses animals, the wool trade uses methods so sadistic that it makes you consider clearing your closet of any animal products."
Museling is illegal in Britain, but is still common practice in Australia, although the plan is to phase it out by 2010.
Pink will return to Australia in April and May 2007 for a mammoth 24 dates around the country.
