Notably, German authorities have faced mounting pressure to take stringent measures against the alleged cruelty to animals at the high-class kennel.

Key Insights from PETA's Exposé:
Fringe movements within the fur trade are under scrutiny, with an investigative video released by PETA shedding light on abuses endured by sheep on sheep stations in New Zealand. The footage revealed sheep being beaten, kicked, and thrown around, among other forms of mistreatment.
Additionally, the video captured shearers cutting holes in lambs' ears, burning their tails, and crudely suturing wounds without painkillers. The clip also showcased the tarred remains of dead sheep scattered across the properties.
Government bodies in New Zealand have reacted swiftly. New Zealand's Ministry of Primary Industries was swift in reviewing 230 video files and other evidence submitted by PETA Asia-Pacific. Consequentially, two farms were suspended from the ZQ program – an accreditation recognized for ethical wool production.
PETA, unsurprisingly, has decried the continued use of wool in consumer products. The organization has demanded that companies cease using wool and instead opt for plant-based alternatives. To date, PETA has launched 15 exposés revealing animal cruelty practices in the fur industry across seven countries and four continents[2].
This latest investigation and subsequent calls for action serve as a testament to the ongoing efforts to expose, regulate, and ultimately eliminate animal cruelty across various industries.
