I have a thought for you to consider would you prefer to sit down and deal with A layer of skin being removed and being in pain for a scientifically proven result of 48 hours or not have it removed get fly blown and slowly die from being eaten alive by maggots and flies mulesing is done to save them from potentially loosing their lives and dieing very painfully and slowly. BTW a sheep that breaks its leg is useless you can save it unless maybe it were a pet unlike a human that can undergo the recovery session most just have a bullet put into its head or slowly die from getting carried off by a fox. the way i see it mulesing dosent sound like fun to us but look at how the positives outweight the negatives. not to menchon how is mulesing any nastier than taking care of a cow from a young age breaking it in so you can pierce a hole through its nose to put a ring in it to attatch a leash and drag it round a field be its best friends for 12 months then send it off to a butcher and eat it??? cause thats so much more humane... wake up n smell the roses there are more important issues to be worried about than something that saves an animal for longer than it is in pain compared to the alternatives....
