Anti UGG Silent Protest
Fri 9th February, 2018 @ 14:00 - 17:00
UGG boots are made of “shearling”, that’s skin with the fleece still attached. Every year, millions of sheep are castrated and parts of their tails are cut off, often without any painkillers, before they’re finally slaughtered for their skin, which is what UGG boots are made of. They endure all that cruelty just for a pair of boots.
It’s also considered “normal” in the Australian wool industry for approximately 3 million young lambs to die every spring.
Not only are wool and sheepskin items cruelly produced, they’re also bad for the environment. Wool production degrades land and pollutes the water supply.
All you will need is a laptop/tablet (masks will be available).
You may also bring any Anti UGG signs/placards you think may be appropriate.
You can also wear 8£ Primark UGG style boots- as cruelty free alternative (If you have one).
You’re more than welcome to use any footage relating to the wool, sheep skin industry.
You can use this one’s as well:
