Time to ban live export once and for all

[Lebbo73]

Like you care.

You were on the greyhound thread a while ago advocating the stupidly cruel s**t those greyhound trainers were doing.

Are you still bitter about the thrashing I gave you over the natural training methods of greyhounds using pests?

The only thrashing you made was self-inflicted. But good to see you whipping yourself some more. You truly are the gimp of SRP.

Maybe not that intelligent but sheep are generally quite nice animals, don't like seeing them suffer like that.

Is the reason we go with live exports because it is cheaper than slaughtering meat in Aus and freezing it for the journey?

I would be very surprised if live exports is simply not basic economics.

A few dead animals is cheaper than slaughtering them in Aus and freezing them for a long ship journey.

 

[Lethality]

I agree that animals shouldn’t be tortured by I believe this is the first step in your push for the total banning of all meat products.

So be it.

Have you seen those animals on the ships gasping for air? It doesn't just have to be torture, the condition many animals are kept in are heart-breaking to behold.

Terribly cruel but not worth destroying an industry over!

It's worth turning over a few industries imo. This kind of cruelty exists elsewhere as well, it's not just the live export trade.

Their barbaric treatment at the end of the voyage for the sheep and cattle is just as bad. It's lose/lose for the animals.Anyone bagging that barbaric faith?

 

[Ripper]

won't be any sheep to export soon not The Miister for regional un development has allowed "carbon farming" (I.e. destock and let the land go wild and get paid to do it) in WA. Not only do they want to de-industrialise use us they want to de Argriculture us too.

So in your eyes if there is money to be made abject cruelty is ok?

 

[Kurve]

Maybe so! But they also support the fruit loops from the Middle East and their tradition!

Gotta love those lefites

You saw what Julie Bishop was wearing on her head in Iran right? She displayed obedience and conformed by wearing a black hijab / headscarf in accordance with their religious law.

So what if it's the end of the industry Lebbo? It's not the end of the world it's just change.

This isn't worth it and a pox on the farmers anyway for sending their animals overseas to die on these ships or be beaten before having their throats cut in a strange land. It's so wrong, there's nothing right about it.

 

[Kram]

Ban chicken egg farming as well then whilst we are at it.

Andrew Wilkie is a dickhead. He’s already been found out in Parliament for asking stupid questions and taking too long to ask questions. He also said in 2003 that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and then back flipped and wanted John Howard criminally charged over the invasion!

Even if true how does that have anything to do with live export in 2018?

Let me guess, the sheep should just talk with their feet and find a better boat

 

[Benny78]

I'm all for banning it. I dislike other nations enjoying our meat/products. Especially at the expense of the health of 1 sheep or more.

If it wasn't for the sake of a mere 10 or so companies that distribute Australian meat overseas. No one could have it and it would be all ours.

 

[Admiral Byng]

How about we restrict live exports to air freight only?

 

[Admiral Byng]

Another industry to be destroyed by the looney left! Another step toward their goal of communism!

Yeah those bloody lefties, can't even buy a house slave these days: another once-profitable industry they wrecked.

*shakes fist*

There is no need for live export.

Yes our labour is too expensive and yes some markets will close to Australia because it's not suitable for some religions. The compromise is slaughter in Oz, Quarter the carcass and have a qualified cleric or jew to pray, then cold ship and then butchered in the country of destination. Meat is best weeks and weeks after death, so essentially we are providing a better product.

If some markets close, so be it. It's time to change.

For starters, the video that started this thread was from 2017.

Promising move by the opposition.
