Jona Weinhofen Reveals the Bloody Truth Behind Every Wool Coat

News / Jona Weinhofen Reveals the Bloody Truth Behind Every Wool Coat

Adelaide-born I Killed the Prom Queen guitarist Jona Weinhofen has spoken out against the bloody wool industry in a brand-new campaign for PETA Australia.

In PETA US’ international exposé of the wool industry, gentle sheep are punched in the face, jabbed with electric clippers, slammed into the floor and stamped on by impatient workers.

If you’re as shocked as Weinhofen was by the abuse of sheep in the wool industry, please check the label on clothes before you buy them. If they contain wool, leave them on the shelf.
