Behind the Scenes: Live Lamb Cutting Reaction Videos

Working with Pollution Studios, Lamb Chop, Elizabeth Turner, and more Hollywood stars in LA to bring awareness for animal welfare  

2/10/2025

FOUR PAWS is collaborating with Pollution Studios in Los Angeles, California, in order to bring awareness to the issue of Live Lamb Cutting. And we are especially honored to be working with one V.I.P. lamb, the iconic Lamb Chop and Mallory Lewis!

Live lamb cutting, also known as mulesing, is a painful procedure where pieces of a the young animal's buttocks skin are cut away. This mutilation, which is practiced in Australia on Merino wool lambs, often without any pain management, is done in order to prevent a condition called 'flystrike'. Even though live lamb cutting is unnecessary, as alternatives exist, over 10 million lambs a year still endure this cruelty.  Learn more about live lamb cutting.

Most people have never heard of live lamb cutting and are unaware of the hidden pain that many lambs endure to provide the fibers for some wool clothing.  If people knew about this cruelty, surely they would want it to stop, but how to get the word out? Pollution Studios connected us with several powerful impactors to help us expose the grim practice, film reaction videos, and raise awareness for this issue.

"When I first heard about live lamb cutting, I thought it sounded scary and mean, so I wanted to speak up for all the other lambs who don’t have a voice like I do.”

More celebrities speak out against live lamb cutting

Several impactors including Lamb Chop and Mallory Lewis, Elizabeth Turner, Deirdre F., Nicole Zyana, and Logan Shroyer gathered together at Pollution Studios to watch the live lamb cutting footage and learn what we can all do to help protect these vulnerable animals. 

"It was such an honor to work with the FOUR PAWS team on this video series. We wanted to draw attention to the horrible practice of Live Lamb Cutting and bring emotion and compassion to the baby animals who are being mutilated. Working with Lamb Chop was particularly powerful - I grew up watching her videos, and love the way she speaks out on behalf of her fellow lambs!"
