      <![CDATA[Buying sheep hair ("wool") products harms sheeps who are forced-bred, mutilated, confined and unable to live on their own terms, and are slaughtered when it is no longer profitable to keep them alive for their hair.<br>
<br>
Since we can clothe ourselves with the many plant fibers available, we ought to choose these options to avoid harming other animals.<br>
<br>
Learn the facts behind the sheep hair industry:<br>

      <![CDATA[We use Zque yarn too, as all our own brand Chocolate Fish Merino gear is made using MAPP merino fabric. We are also now the only company in Europe still having our gear made in New Zealand, under New Zealand's stringent environmental regulations, and where around 50% of the electricity is from hydro-electric power.<br>
<br>
It's no good companies claiming to be clean and green just because they're sourcing their merino from Zque, when they then go and manufacture in countries like China with its appalling record on pollution..<br>
