PETA literally a pain in the butt

But we knew that already. On NRO Wesley J. Smith reports on how the Australian wool industry has gone sheepish in the face of more demagoguery from PETA.

In its "Save the Sheep" protest, PETA claims hyperbolically that "Australian wool represents massive suffering for sheep, millions of whom are mutilated each year by being trussed upside-down and having huge chunks of flesh carved from their rumps without any pain relief." Sounds awful and gratuitously cruel, doesn't it? But wait: There is far more to this story then the seeming gratuitous sadism of Aussie sheep ranchers depicted by PETA.
