Why is it a bad idea to give a sheep a hair cut humanely so they dont overheat in the Summer. At least you know they are being looked after correctly

What a load of bolloxs

I'm sure if they pop over Sunday they do them a nice lamb roast but then again there probably doin there own

I’d like to ask the PETA folk to shut up

Loony

_ Ridiculous! peta are making their org' a laughing stock being OTT and harming all the good works they've achieved so far!

PETA are making themselves a laughing stock and due to their extreme views I no longer support anything they do.

I've seriously heard it all now. Some people need to get a life!! 🐑

I've 'herd' it all now! Some people need to get a life!

Just rung Bushy Park and asked them to change their name to Gristle Vein. In the spirit of meat equality.

What the fuck is this world becoming.baffles me sometimes.

This is ridiculous

Are thee the wonderful young people that Campbell and Adonis etc., are wanting us to remain in EU for.

Really?

PETAUK adding your name to the “AAA” list .... Annoying Activist Arseholes 👍🏻

I think venison is a better name

Sounds like a norn Ireland request

I’m totally for animal rights but this has got to be the stupidest idea yet. 🐑

Just a very clever advertising campaign by peta. Put my small village on the map that’s for sure !!!

Mad as a box of frogs.

Who are these idiotic people? The large majority of people do not cause harm to animals. We eat them because if we didn't the planet would be over run and also because some of them are helluva tasty so stop preaching and do something useful with your time.

vegan wool ............. straw

Siri show me peak 2018

Any word yet from Anne Hathaway?

It's crule not to have sheep not shorn they would be matted over grown and the risk of fly strike infestation. So PETA are barking mad on this issue so called animal rights.

Tell 'em it's a baaa- locks idea

All the endangered species of animals, and they're worried about a village name!

Hmmm vegan wool....i didnt realise it was edible :-)

To the village of Wool. Don't change your name.

That’s how Trump looks on global warming.

They really are pathetic

To the person who had this idea....

PETA asks village of Wool to change its name to ‘Vegan Wool’When people want to argue that vegans can be a little bit ridiculous, they often look to PETA for evidence. The animal rights group is famous for its attention-grabbing, and downright bizarre, campaigns, such as asking Nottingham to change its name to “Not-Eating-Ham” for Christmas and lobbying Eggs and Bacon Bay in Tasmania to become Apple and Cherry Bay. Now, they’re asking the 1000-year-old village of Wool in Dorset to become “Vegan Wool” to raise awareness of their investigation into cruelty to sheep in Britain’s wool industry. I bet bongbrummie is behind this 🙄 indy100 Have these vegans consumed too much chemicals from their veg? Too much roughage turned their minds to sh..?

Animal rights activists demand Wool village change its nameThat the unassuming Dorset village of Wool derives its name from an ancient word for well, or water spring, appears to have fallen by the wayside. Liberalism is a mental illness. Stuff like this proves it. Next they'll be offended by being called 'animal rights activists' because it implies animals are different from humans. Awww bless them in their little nylon tights...
