So how DO we get wool? Ugg's use sheep...

"Sheep used for their wool have their tails cut off and are castrated when they are just babies (without any painkillers). People who shear the wool are paid by volume, not by the hour, which means that they work roughly and fast. This often leaves the sheep with open gashes that can become infected.

In Australia—where a lot of the world’s wool originates—farmers use gardening shears to cut huge chunks of skin and flesh from lambs’ backsides (also without any painkillers) in a cruel practice called “mulesing.” And after all that, when the sheep are no longer producing enough wool, they are crammed onto export ships to be sent to the Middle East, where they are cruelly slaughtered."

I am going to (try) stop wearing my tan uggs.  The knitted one's aren't cruelty realted ( as far as I've checked). I defintley will not buy anything from Ugg anymore. If your reading this and intend buying anything from Uggs I'm not gonna stop you I think that's the job of the dead sheeps souls.
