American retail giant Abercrombie & Fitch has set a new standard for clothing companies by pledging not to use Australian wool in any of its garments until both mulesing and live exports are stopped. Abercrombie & Fitch hopes to set a precedent in the world that other retailers can follow to help end the needless suffering of sheep who are raised for their wool. As more and more retailers follow Abercrombie & Fitch's lead and stop buying wool that comes from mutilated and abused Australian sheep, the Australian wool industry will be forced to abandon its cruel practices.

|
When PETA learned that AC Reynolds High School in Asheville, North Carolina, intended to hold a "Kiss a Pig" contest, we sprung into action.

The principal agreed that terrifying pigs and degrading teachers wasn't the lesson she wanted to teach her students. The pig was never taken into the school, and the students and faculty learned a valuable lesson about compassion.
