In August 2023, HSI Australia commissioned independent polling by Pureprofile which surveyed 1,005 participants on a range of our campaigns. The results on sheep welfare revealed that:
- Over 75 per cent of respondents agree that wool growers should breed sheep without wrinkles, so they are not prone to flystrike.
- More than 65 per cent agreed that governments should require a phase out of mulesing (live lamb cutting).
These results will help towards our efforts to encourage decision-makers to improve animal welfare legislation for Australian sheep bred for wool, and a phase out of live lamb cutting.
