Australia exports five million live sheep and half a million live cattle annually. Most of the sheep are sent to the Middle East and the cattle to Indonesia.
Upon arrival the animals are routinely subjected to cruel treatment. Sheep are trussed and tied to roof racks or thrown into car boots in the desert heat. Most of the animals will be slaughtered by having their throats cut while fully conscious. Being bigger animals cattle are disabled in the slaughter process by having their leg tendons slashed, eyes stabbed to blind them, tails pulled, twisted and even broken and whipped in their sensitive faces.
Australia's willingness to export animals -- knowing that tens of thousands will die enroute and that surviving animals will endure treatment that would be illegal in Australia -- is immoral and unforgiveable.
Ask the Australian government to ban all animal exports.
