minus-squareVegaLyrae@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·9 months agoThere are mulesing free certificates, and some companies go the extra mile. Varusteleka is pretty open about their wool, but they don’t have the biggest selection. (varusteleka, I’ve called you out twice on this account, sponsor me lmao)
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·9 months agoAre you fucking kidding me? Do you think most people can buy clothes for that kind of money? I sure as fuck can’t afford a shirt that costs $64 or pants that cost $160. You’re basically telling me that in order to have cruelty-free wool, I have to be wealthy.
