Do you have to really kill the poor sheep just to make a pair of UGG boots?
The answer is YES. The sheep has to be slaughted to obtain their hide and fleece. Now once the sheepskin hides are taken from the sheep then the process of preparing the hide for manufacturers and ensuring the hides are up to export standard begins.
Woolskins are usually preserved with salt prior to being processed by tanneries. At the tannery the skins are processed in large vessels called paddles which vary in capacity from 3000 to 15000 litres. In contrast to hide processing, in woolskin processing mechanical action is kept to a minimum in order to minimise felting of the wool. Rotating blades on the paddles move the skins slowly and gently, and processing is performed at much higher float ratios (typically 20-35 litres of water per skin) than are used in hide processing.
Typically it takes about 10 working days for the skins to be tanned and finished ready to be cut into panels for ugg bootsUGG® Australia uses only the best quality sheepskin exclusively. Twin-faced sheepskin is used in many of our core products. A piece of twin-faced sheepskin has been treated on both the fleece side, and the skin side.
The wool of genuine sheepskin is extremely dense (more-so than any synthetic), which provides for a more comfortable and durable material.
Fleece breathes, wicks moisture away, and allows air to circulate, keeping feet dry.
Sheepskin is naturally water resistant & therefore small amounts of moisture will not seep through or damage it.
UGG® Australia sheepskin is naturally thermostatic & therefore will keep bare feet warm in temperatures as low as -30°F and cool in temperatures as high as 80°F (Sheepskin will naturally insulate by keeping feet warm in the winter & cool in the summer.)

Did U Know That Paws Is Boycotting Uggs, Will U Stop Wearing Them?

PAWS takes aim at Ugg boots

The Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) stages a protest on the Frist North Lawn against the use of animal skins for clothing. PAWS Vice-President Alex Barnard ’09 lies in the snow wearing a fur coat covered in fake blood to demonstrate his opposition to animal cruelty. Defying February’s climatic dictates, students lay in the newly fallen snow on the Frist Campus Center’s North Front Lawn on Friday afternoon, feigning death, wearing coats covered with fake blood and sporting signs that read, “What if you were killed for your coat?”
The protest, based on a campaign started by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and organized by the Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), was designed to raise awareness of animals’ suffering as part of the fashion fur industry. The protest focused on Ugg boots, which are made from sheepskin and are popular among college-age women.
In addition to Uggs, which are openly noted as derived from animals, fur marked as fake may not actually be, PAWS vice president Alex Barnard ’09 explained, adding that clothing imported from China is often unregulated, and recent studies indicate that cat and dog fur may be mislabeled as “faux fur.”
PAWS hopes to address these issues and change people’s perceptions of fashion through the protest.
“We want people to realize that fur, whether it is fake or real, is just ugly, and there’s no reason to wear it at all,” PAWS president Jenny Palmer ’09 said.
Princeton is an ideal place for the protest because of fur’s association with social status, Barnard said. “There is a lot of wealth here,” he explained. “There are people who wear animal products here because they can afford them.”
While PAWS members see demonstrations such as last Friday’s as pivotal to awakening activism on campus, some students see the protests as unnecessarily graphic.
Aly Lopez-Aguiar ’09 noted that while she agrees with PAWS’ mission to decrease the use of fur in fashion, the use of fake blood was “excessive,” she said. “If somebody sees something that graphic, they’re going to be turned off of the issue itself,” she explained.
Palmer, however, defended the use of provocative images.
“There’s always a risk [of offending people],” she said. “Sometimes there’s a lot of apathy; we need to have these shocking images to force people to recognize that the clothes they choose to wear have an impact on animals’ lives.”
Public protests reach a wider audience than the speakers, educational programs and other events that PAWS sponsors, Palmer explained. Protests like the one at Frist aim to alert the public to see the controversy over fur as a “wider issue,” she said.
While such demonstrations are perfectly within PAWS’ right to free speech, the graphic nature of the protest might give a negative impression to prospective students and people trying to get a sense of the University, Haley Thompson ’11 said.
“There are a lot of people [who saw the demonstration] who aren’t students here, and they might find it offensive,” Thompson explained.
For Thompson though, wearing Uggs remains a personal decision, much like being a vegetarian. “You do the same thing when you sit down and eat a hamburger,” Thompson noted. “I don’t feel like it’s all that different, and I’m not a vegetarian.”
Seeing the demonstration did not change her mind, she added. “I’m still going to wear my Uggs.”

Did U Know That Pam Anderson Is Boycotting Uggs?

Will u stop buying and wearing them to save the sheep?
After helping popularize UGGs, Pamela Anderson is now boycotting the boots after learning they’re made from real sheepskin.
“I’m getting rid of our Uggs,” Anderson, 39, writes in her online diary.
“I feel so guilty for that craze being started around Baywatch days – I used to wear them with my red swimsuit to keep warm – never realizing that they were SKIN!”
It seems Anderson, 39, thought the boots’ woolly lining was attached to a synthetic backing. In fact, the boots are made from sheepskin with the fur intact. “I thought they were shaved kindly,” she writes.
“People like to tell me all the time that I started that trend – yikes!”

Did U Know That Sheep Suffer 2 Make Uggs?

The outside of the Uggs boot is real sheepskin
now will u stop wearing them and save the sheep?

Currently exploiting more than 100 million miserable sheep, Australia produces 30 percent of all wool used worldwide. Australian ranchers perform a barbaric operation-called “”mulesing”"-where they force live sheep onto their backs, restrain their legs between metal bars, and, without any painkillers whatsoever, slice dinner-plate-sized chunks of flesh from around their tail area. When sheep age and their wool production declines, they are of no use to wool farmers and so are discarded for slaughter. This results in the cruel live export of 6.5 million sheep every year from Australia to the Middle East and North Africa, where sheep are crammed aboard multitiered open-deck ships. Nearly 800,000 sheep enter the live export trade from the U.K. and are slaughtered abroad.

Do You Know What Movie This Excerpt Is From?

Please, help!

You’ve got your sheepskins on, and the boots I made for you
Good night, my buddy Heather.
Any help appreciated

Did You Know This About Uggs???

If you do a few basic searches on the net you will find yourself a cheap pair of non-authentic uggs somewhere, but let me tell you 99% of ugg boots sold on the internet are made in china. China made Australian ugg boots? Hmm how doess that work? Anyway these China boots are maufactured using inferior sheepskin internal material and probably suede external material which doesn’t allow the boot to breath and leaves you with a smelly boot you wont want to put back on after 4-5 wears.
Do you have to really kill the poor sheep just to make a pair of sheepskin boots?
The answer is YES. The sheep has to be slaughted to obtain their hide and fleece.

Any One Know About Ugg Boots?

are the traditional sheepskins water proof? i want to buy a pair because i’m going to utah for winter break? also, is there good grip on the bottoms?

Did You Know Uggs Boots Don’t Kill Sheep Just For Skin?

Ugg uses sheepskin from sheep that are already killed for meat. The make it so the skin is being wasted, and plus, its not like you can just go out and buy a pair. There is a limited amount they can sell per year to help the sheep. They are pretty hard to find. Ugg boots are also way better quality than most. They aren’t just worn for a “Fashion statement.” They are warm & comfy.
You can’t be mad at the ugg company unless your a vegetarian/vegan.
