In light of Peta's recent campaign Ile De France NZ would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to the honorable sheep.
Thanks Be to the honorable sheep for 1000's of years of service to humanity and the planet.
Sheep provide meat and fibre and are unsurpassable in environmental sustainability.
So much classier to wear sheep's wool than recycled milk bottles made from petro-chemicals.
Sheep are free range and largely grass fed.
When lamb goes to market , it could probably pass as organic.
Sheep will save the planet.
Go Sheep!
