PETA has launched a terrifying Christmas jumper featuring a mutilated sheep


Well this is… disturbing (Picture: PETA)

We all love an ugly Christmas jumper – but PETA have taken the concept top the next level, and they hope to spread an important message at the same time.

The limited-edition jumper says ‘wool hurts’ above the PETA logo and features a giant, 3-D sheep. The mangled and bloody front half of the sheep sticks out from the front of the jumper, its rear from the back.

Festive.

The jumper launch is part of a bigger anti-wool campaign by PETA that also includes urging Forever 21 to stop selling clothing made of wool.

The item itself is made of 100% acrylic yarn – and absolutely no wool.

‘This is part of PETA’s campaign against the wool industry, where workers have been caught beating, kicking, stomping on, and even killing gentle sheep in shearing sheds,’ reads the product description on the website.

‘With the help of celebrities such as Billie Eilish and P!nk, PETA is calling on shoppers (and retailers like Forever 21) to help sheep by switching to cruelty-free knits.’

So would you rock a bloody, bruised sheep to your office Christmas jumper day this year?

If you want to make a statement it’s going to set you back quite a bit – the jumper costs $149 (£116) from the PETA shop, and you would have to add on shipping costs from the US.

In addition to the sweater, PETA is also selling a Beauty Without Bunnies beanie hat and a Gobble Veggies, Not Turkeys Inflatable Lawn Ornament this holiday season.
