DESCRIPTION:We are at a key juncture in our campaign to end mulesing mutilations of 
 tens of millions of lambs every year in the Australian wool industry.  
 Mulesing is a barbaric mutilation used by farmers in Australia in a crude 
 attempt to prevent flystrike, a condition in which maggots attack sheep. 
 Farmers cut corners by using this cruel method: They cut chunks of 
 flesh—not just wool, but flesh—from the lambs' backsides with 
 instruments that are similar to gardening shears.\n\nWe need as many people 
 as possible to gather with us at noon on Monday, June 14th. This is an 
 important opportunity to end mulesing mutilations. Australian government 
 officials will be at the Intercontinental San Francisco Hotel to negotiate 
 a trade agreement with the U.S. (and other countries) and we need everyone 
 who cares about stopping cruelty to animals to seize this rare opportunity 
 to show the Australian government how important this issue is to 
 consumers!\n\nWhat: Peaceful protest to end the mutilation of lambs in the 
 Australian wool industry\n\nWhen: June 14, Noon-1pm (please arrive early if 
 you can)\n\nWhere: Outside the Intercontinental San Francisco Hotel at 888 
 Howard St in San Francisco. Less than a 10 minute walk from the Powell St 
 BART station\n\n***We are arranging transportation to the protest. Please 
 let me know if you need any help getting to the event and we will get you 
 there!*** \n\nThere may not be another opportunity like this to put 
 pressure on the Australian government and wool industry to end this 
 cruelty. Please take the day off of work, take a long lunch break, do 
 whatever you can to attend, and bring your friends, family, and co-workers. 
 The lambs need you!\n\nIf you have questions, please email me at
