Pink Slams Australian Farmers

Pink used a recent concert to blast Australian farmers for treating their animals badly.

The American popstar has asked her fans to boycott buying Australian wool in a bid to stop Aussie farmers from being nasty, she said at her Paris gig: "I am calling on consumers to check labels on sweaters before buying them and if they're merino wool or made in Australia, to leave them on the racks."

Also at the gig Pink played her French fans a gruesome PETA video exposing the cruelty of the Australian wool industry.
According to PETA, every year millions of lambs are mutilated each year by having chunks of skin and flesh cut from their backsides�without any pain relief�in a practice known as �mulesing.�

Then when sheep are past their wool-producing prime, they are crammed onto �death ships� bound for the Middle East�a weeks-long voyage in which many die from injuries or starvation. Those who survive have their throats slit in filthy, open-air markets while they are still conscious�nasty.

Pink has always been an animal rights campaigner, she recently slammed fellow popstar Beyonce Knowles as a �bitch� for her fur wearing antics.

She said of Beyonce: "(Beyonce) is a bitch! "I only hope she gets bit on the arse by whatever animal she wears.

"Some of the practices are so cruel and as a celebrity you have a responsibility to think about the message you're sending out by wearing fur.

"People will think it's ok or cool, but it's not."

Go Pink!
