✍️URGENT letter to Home Secretary about animal welfare.

@ukhomeoffice ministers have stopped 75 highly skilled sheep shearers from coming to the UK for this year’s sheep shearing season. @natsheep tell me that Australian and Kiwi shearers usually shear 1.5-2 million sheep in our warm months to prevent heat stroke and disease.

The Home Office must u-turn on this decision urgently before the season starts in two months.
