Animal rights group PETA has written to the producers of the BBC
programme, asking that they ensure that Winkleman adopts “animal-free”
attire in the future.
While praising Winkleman’s sense of style,
the charity said that the production of wool inflicted pain and
suffering on sheep and goats, saying that “when it comes to wool, it’s
humans who are often the traitors”.
“Sheep are gentle, clever
individuals who can remember the faces of at least 50 other sheep and
even recognise emotions on human faces.
“Like us, sheep can
feel optimistic or pessimistic, and learn from past experiences. Loyal
