I detest mutton and don't wear wool clothes or use wool blankets.

They are also "vacating" allotments for cattle.

Soon much more of our food sources will only be feed lots.

No more free range food.

Woolen clothes and blankets will still keep you warm even if they get wet..

There was no other known fiber that could do that until the development of synthetics.. and I'm not sure there are any synthetics that can make that claim..

As for mutton, you're one up on me there..
I've never tasted it..

However, lamb is quite nice. Since I work with wool, I don't want to see the price rise. I get mine from an Amish mill located in Pennsylvania, and the cost is comparatively low. I doubt this will affect my supplier.

OTOH, meat and wool animals are often two different operations. Many meat sheep grow hair, not wool.

I object to this sort of thing because it is manipulative and aims to clear humans and human activity out of places the Greens have decreed must remain "pristine".
