Make Tennis Vegan

[Catherine]

A group called Sheeps has launched a campaign and a petition to encourage the removal of  wool from the manufacture of tennis balls. Wool is not necessary and there are already tennis ball available that do not use wool. If tennis balls were vegan  they would have no part in the sheep shearing industry that has been found to abuse sheep during the shearing.  Tennis could be cruelty free if it rejected wool based tennis balls.

I did not know that there is wool in tennis balls. Now that I know, I will sign the petition. This is one of those things where they use wool because they have always used wool. There are better alternatives, but no one ever thought of changing. This is a little piece of the wool industry,  but it would send a message if tennis balls rejected the use of wool.
