The process, developed by veterinarian John Steinfort, involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze off skin wrinkles, similar to the way doctors remove warts.
"It's a process of pinching the skin either side of the breech and either side of the tail," he said. "At the time of application there is a stinging effect on the animal, just like when we go to a doctor and get skin lesions removed from our skin," he said. But the process is more expensive for farmers — $5 per animal compared to around $1.20 for surgical mulesing.
"There was an animal welfare concern and we did see that on the horizon there was going to be an issue [with marketing wool for mulesed sheep]," he said."Any time we can take out a procedure which makes the animal happier, we look at it, and this was just another one of those.""We would never look back to be honest and we're very optimistic that it was the right call," he said.
Mr Zedda said AWEX's decision that steining met the criteria for non-mulesed wool meant the European industry would "most likely support it".
Disgusting treatment of animals.
We'll freeze em alive and they'll thaw out on the ship on their way to the middle-east😂🤣😜

Florida new virus epicentre as global cases pass 10 millionIt comes as global coronavirus cases have now exceeded 10 million, marking a grim milestone in the spread of the respiratory disease that has so far killed almost half a million people in seven months. Whats the death rate? You never seem to report on the death rate , why is that ? You never question why after the violent riots that you encourage that there is now a spike in cases. Why don't you report on the 50% of deaths come from Nursing homes in democratic areas? they are lying scum bags , viruses are not contagious no matter how many times they tell you that, germ theory does not meet all of Koch's Postulates especially viruses , viruses do not meet any of Koch's postulates , viruses can not be spread from one person to another. Period!

STOP PROTESTING AND WASH YOUR HANDS! Shouldn’t balloons and glitter be falling from the sky or something? Sadly, 10M of “recorded” cases is probably more than 50M, given some countries have limited testing The “500,000” of recorded deaths is likely more than 2,000,000 And there could be 10 times that again, before a vaccine is found Stay vigilant, protect the vulnerable amongst us

China tested 9 million people for COVID-19 in 10 days. Does it hold lessons for Victoria?In Wuhan, China, authorities tested 9 million people for coronavirus in just 10 days. The approach could hold some important lessons for Victoria, as the state embarks on its own 10-day testing blitz. Umm... Is it really a good idea to hold the Chinese govt up as a good example of how to treat people - like EVER, in ANY situation? I stand behind responsible and ethical mass testing, but please spare me the Chinese govt is great garbage. I live in a “hotspot” of 4 ppl... i don’t appreciate being forced into lockdown because of irresponsible idiots
