“This has been a hard fought campaign by Australian woolgrowers that started in October 2004,” said Mr Targ.
“Since the Federal court case began, PETA's activities have been curbed and demand for Australian Merino wool has grown, unfettered by the influence of the animal rights movement. The last twelve months the value of wool exports has increased by more than $700million.
“We will continue to watch their international and Australian activity very closely.”
The agreement identifies activities already being undertaken by the Australian wool industry which will now be documented and provided to PETA as part of this agreement.
“The National Mulesing Accreditation Program (NMAP) will continue to be rolled out, as well as genetic research into bare breech sheep. There will be a system to identify wool from unmulesed sheep for retailers who want it,” said Mr Targ.
