Animal rights activists in the UK are calling for the village of Wool in Dorset to change its name, as it allegedly promotes animal cruelty.

The village gets its name from the ancient word for 'well', and is not actually associated with sheep.

Even so, PETA has requested that the name be changed to 'Vegan Wool' in order to promote kindness to sheep.

The parish council will now debate the issue.
