There are over 1 billion sheep worldwide. The greatest numbers are farmed in Asia and Africa. Sheep are kept for wool, meat, lamb and mutton, and for milk.  (Source : Compassion in World Farming)


Welfare problems:

  • mutilations (castration, tail docking, mulesing, ...)
  • artificial reproduction (semen milking by electroejaculation and insemination)
  • factory farming (in individual pens)
  • transport
  • auctions (this link shows you images of animal abuse in auctions in the USA)
  • slaughter
