Prince of Wools Continues His Wool Work
In September this year , the Patron of the Campaign for Wool , His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales confirmed his ongoing commitment to the wool industry ’ s largest ever promotional initiative .
Whilst hosting a major wool gathering at his Scottish residence — Dumfries House , the Prince announced his intention to remain Patron of the Campaign for a further five years . Furthermore to continue to add value to his personal belief in the future of wool , he launched the ‘ Dumfries House Declaration ’.
The Dumfries House Declaration states the unequivocal position of the wool industry in terms of all aspects of wool management onfarm and its aim to ensure that wool producers across the world maintain the highest standards in animal welfare . This will promote the ‘ Five Freedoms of Sheep ’, an animal welfare and sheep husbandry benchmark , which outline the standards that sheep farmers follow in caring for sheep in their flock . >>
