NO MULESING
It is not only important to Wiler Filz that our products are mulesing-free, we also want you to understand why we place so much value on this. Therefore, we will explain here what is worth knowing about the subject of mulesing.
Mulesing is an animal-cruel and very a painful procedure in sheep farming. This practice, ...
- which is very widespread in Australia, involves removing skin from lambs and sheep around the tail. This skin removal is performed without any anesthesia. This makes mulesing particularly painful for the animals. The lambs are first restrained. Then, with sharp scissors or a hot knife, the skin folds around the anus, vulva and tail are cut out. As already mentioned, this is done while the animals are fully conscious and fully aware of pain. The wound is not treated afterwards, but must heal and scar on its own. No wool grows on this scar tissue, it remains smooth and unwrinkled. This is to avoid attracting flies. However, flies often settle in the untreated wound, so that the sheep is then exposed to this pain completely unnecessarily.

- the hazards of substances in order to reduce animal testing as far as possible.
- REACH applies to all chemical substances, not only those used in industrial processes but also those found in everyday items such as cleaning products, paints and varnishes, as well as in products such as clothing, furniture and electrical appliances. For this reason, the regulation has far-reaching implications for many companies throughout the EU.
- Under REACH, companies are responsible for demonstrating the safety of the substances they use. They must identify and manage the risks of the chemicals they manufacture in or place on the market in the EU. They are also obliged to show the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) how the safe use of the substances can be ensured and must provide users with information on risk management measures.

The directive has two main objectives: on the one hand, it is intended to prevent environmental pollution and damage caused by these substances, which can occur, for example, during recycling or when disposing of waste. On the other hand, it aims to minimize health risks that arise from contact with these hazardous substances.

It also applies indirectly if a company sells such products to third parties that distribute them in the EU. As a directive, RoHS is binding on all EU member states, but allows for certain differences in application and enforcement.
