56k sheep aboard ship to be killed after live export refusal

Ms MacTiernan said the sheep would go to local processors and conceded the price of lamb could fall, but it would be modest."Animal welfare is always our top priority," he said.WA Health Minister Roger Cook said it was not an optimal outcome.

WAFarmers livestock president David Slade said the industry had worked hard for a resolution after government authorities "entirely mishandled" the situation, but were left frustrated and disappointed."Given the major advances to animal welfare conditions onboard live export vessels, it is extremely clear there are hidden agendas at play."

The northern summer ban was sparked by thousands of sheep dying from heat stress aboard the Awassi Express in 2017.

I'll take one. I hate mowing my lawn.

Stop live exports plenty of land in the central west plenty of people to work and feed is Australia a joke yes

Totally disgusting I will take some

Farmers complain about drought and cry for help. Australian’s get together and help farmers. First thing farmers do, is sell offshore for money they should not have in the first place. Then the Farmers have the hide to throw rubbery lamb scraps to Australians at ridiculous prices

Dont slaughter give these to me and ill start working as a livestock broker

Just stop these live exports pls ... even animals have fkn rights imho 😎

Id guess that slaughtering them here would be more humane than cramming them all onto a ship for ages and then slaughtering them

Lamb is the dearest meat in the country, sell it to the Australian market

Sheep’s lifelong dream of a cruise ship trip to the Middle East is over

'56,000 sheep will be slaughtered in Perth'. You know the importers in the Middle East weren't going to keep them as pets or something right?

'It's not fair'! It's not fucking fair'!

Mutton biryanis coming up?

Sheep meats are high demand in PNG. Why export far? Guess New Zealand will always be the sheep meat supply to PNG .

I bet they bury the lot of them rather than putting them on the market.

Seems like a waste

Court rules 2011 Indonesia live cattle ban invalidThe banning of Australian farmers from exporting live cattle to Indonesia for six months in 2011 was unreasonable and invalid, a court has ruled. So we should continue to export live animals for barbaric torture overseas ? Why do they have to be live? So they can torture them as part of their sick death cult rituals. In this case the Minister got it right the first time. Disgraceful! I hope there is an appeal against this decision

Live export ban 'invalid' court rulesA federal Labor minister&x27;s decision to ban farmers from exporting live cattle to Indonesia for six months in 2011 was unreasonable and invalid, a court has ruled. It is pathetic that nationally we turn a blind eye to barbarism in the name of profit. Live export is an abomination that cannot be conducted humanely. Was due to clear evidence of animal cruelty and poor conditions....
