Animals Australia advocated important basic reforms in a recent review of Australia's Land Transport of Livestock Standards and Guidelines. Incredibly Dairy Australia and other industry representatives refused to agree to limiting the distance that calves are transported, or even to feeding them if held overnight at the abattoir. As a result, the proposed new Standards drafted by Animal Health Australia do not include these reforms, and will sentence millions more bobby calves to a harrowing fate.

State Agriculture Ministers will vote on these new standards in April. Please demand that they include the reforms proposed by animal welfare experts.
