Very emotive issue - & quite rightly so. Seeing animals go through that just churns my guts. One arguement I don't cop is how it will cost jobs - so what ? So does the move to off-shore manufacturing in sweat shops , the car industry closing its doors because they can't make a quid , the Club industry doing away with Poker Machine attendants (& they are always SO concerned about jobs when the govt wants to increase taxes) , ect. Bottom line for me none of those are any better reason to lose jobs in this country than animals being poorly treated / handled via Live Export . The Doc is correct in saying it will only result in someone else stepping up to take our place who will probably be worse - even so I would like to see a controlled withdrawal from the industry.

It does politically in that the party most effected by the trade and it's survival is the National Party.

Ok. The point I was trying to make is that all types of people across the spectrum have great love for animals within the same race of people. Different races can have more / less tolerance though - generally speaking of course

Actually I will change my comment. Spent a bit of time doing farm labouring during Uni breaks as a kid & I must admit the relationship between country folk & their animals was quite different to what I was used to growing up in the Suburbs of Sydney with a stack of dogs & cats. Moreso on farms. If the animal was not instrumental in "being useful" it was often left to fend for itself (like cats). In fact have a country mate ( farmers son) who always has a crack at me how we molly coddle our dog & cat.

Why would you lie ... or are you really that daft?

When did I say I was pro or anti anything?

I'm just presenting and rationally commenting on the facts, rather than screeching hysterically, and you don't seem capable of processing it.

I'm not in the least bit surprised that you can make no sense of it by the way ...Wink

It makes no sense to displace 100,000 workers, who will have virtually zero chance of re-employment in the areas that they work ... for no result ... in fact, most likely a worse result when countries with less compliance requirements step in and fill the void.

BTW, can someone please point me in the direction of ANY industry that deals in breeding animals FOR ANY PURPOSE that has a ZERO attrition rate, and is completely cruelty free? ... Puppy Farms maybe? ... no? ... Battery Hen Farming? ... no? ... Horse breeding? ... no? ... Piggeries? ... no? ... Greyhound racing? ... 

Sorry, it's impossible to create a perfect outcome, and there will always be rogues, in any industry, but it is possible to introduce more regulation and safeguards, and appropriate penalties, that will minimise the chances of animal suffering.

Most of your suggestions are good, Dr E but already there are regulations in place re live export, and have been for maybe 5 ?  or more ? years now, but no one makes any effort to see they are adhered to.  Its pointless making rules and  regs when no one is going to make any attempt to enforce or obey them.  Once the ship leaves port its at the mercy of the gods, and so are the animals on it.
For instance.  One rule is , no pregnant ewes to be shipped.
So, even beofre those sheep stepped foot out of Australian duristiction ,  people here , ie, farmers/vets/shipping agents all clearly broke the rules.  If the Aust contingent arnt going to stick to the rules, why would the shipping mob , once the ship leaves port ???
Pointless making more rules when no one has any intention of abiding by the ones already in place.    And unless someone, like that bloke , comes forward, off the ship, and blows the whistle, who is to know whats going on out there at sea ?  And its not just that ship as a one off.  Its been happening for years, and it keeps being brought to the attention of the authorities, and whats happened so far ??  Sweeet FA.  They have had years to clean up their act,  and done nothing, and no intention of doing so.  How many chances should they have ?   Its like something out of the dark ages, not 21st century Australia.
And meanwhile millions of animals are suffering like this.  How long should it be allowed to go on ??

Thank heavens there are a few more out there besides me who care about animals and how they are treated Thumbs Up
While we are talking animals, how about signing the petition , or emailing CUB, to try and stop them doing away with the Carlton Clydesdale Team , please ?  That team are icons of Aust .  Dozens will lose their job, and  they say the horses will be pensioned off.  Right Cry  If they are too tight to maintain the show team and the staff, why would we believe they intend to care for the horses.  Out of sight, out of mind.Thumbs Down
Look how Bud in the USA have made legends out of their show teams . One would expect a brewery wouldnt be so short of cash they cant maintain a show team.Shocked
Please email and have a say, or sign the petition.

Did you know it is illegal to stand for a Federal Government election if you are a dual citizen? ... hmmm, bad analogy, when politicians break their own rules, no animals suffer - only citizens!

Did you know that it is illegal to drink and drive, text and drive, take drugs and drive, speed, etc ... there have been rules about that for decades, yet people STILL do it! ... hmmm, bad analogy again, mostly human beings who are dying from that, not many animals.

Did you know that smoking caused heart disease and lung cancer, and causes millions of deaths world wide? ... oh wait, that's legal, and no animals were hurt in the process ...

FIX THE RULES AND POLICE THEM!

BTW, whilst we must not lose sight of the fact that we are actually talking about protein that will eventually be cruelly slaughtered to appease archaic religious beliefs, I also care about animals and I am against cruelty and exposing them to any form of undue suffering ... that is the very reason that our authorities MUST fix what we do in the export trade, rather than just ban it ... the outcome from an Australian ban will be that Muslim countries will source live animals from countries that have LESS regulation, and far greater cruelty will occur ...

Just HOW do we force them to fix this , tho ?  They have had numerous chances, and they talk and bluster, and tell us how much this trade is worth to us, and what they are "going" to do, and place more limp wristed rules in place,  but nothing is done, and its been like this for years .
How long is this carnage acceptable ?  And how do we force change ?

Yes...the "get your act" approach is logical / reasonable Acacia. Very hard to argue against. Unfortunately it loses its credibility a touch when nothing ever changes. Fact is they seem incapable of stopping these catastrophes. One vet on board - sort of says it all really !

Yeah but I dont think the RSPCA can just take themselves on board to travel on the ship, can they ?  They may be able to go on board while the ship is in an Aust port, while everything is hunky dory because the sheep have just been loaded, but if its a foreign owned vessel  ( and I believe all of them are ) they would have no rights or duristiction once it leaves Aust ???   I dont think ?
They may have offered to travel on these ships, but thats the last thing the foreign owners would allow, and really, how much power or influence does our Govnt have to enforce rules and regs once the ship is out of Aust waters ??  Sweet fa would be my guess. Cry  So bringing in more rules is a waste of time, because they wont be enforced anyway.

PS  is the word as I spelled it above ?  or is it " duristriction " ??? Confused
