The highly disturbing video revealed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) shows graphic abuse on "sustainable" wool farms run by Ovis 21, which also supply the British designer and clothes company Patagonia.

The wool, which audacious producers claim is responsibly sourced is also sold in John Lewis and Snow and Rock chains, stocking the Patagonia clothing line. John Lewis said it had raised concerns with the brand.

The gruesome video shows workers sawing through lambs' necks and then watching them bleed, vomit and flail her legs in desperation.

Shearers are also seen snapping animals' necks, kneeling on conscious lambs, stamping on sheep's legs and cutting parts of their ears and tails off, as other terrified animals watch.
