More on How Australia Is Torturing 60,000 Sheep on a Ship to Nowhere!
Cruel Aussie *******s! Boycott Australia - land of evil f**ks.
Looks like 10,000 poor sheep have already died. Evil Aussie *******s. http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/as...17/sheep.ship/ SYDNEY, Australia -- Animal welfare groups are demanding that more than 50,000 sheep marooned aboard a ship in the Persian Gulf be humanely slaughtered as soon as possible. The sheep had originally been destined for Saudi Arabia but authorities there refused to allow the ship to dock, citing an outbreak of disease among some of the animals on board. That was six weeks ago. Now, with temperatures soaring aboard the Dutch-owned MV Cormo Express, Australian animal welfare groups are demanding the animals be humanely killed before they succumb to infection and heat exhaustion. "It's going to become a floating charnel house soon enough," RSPCA Australia president High Wirth said, adding that the situation on the boat had become "really desperate." The case has attracted widespread media attention in Australia with newspapers dubbing the vessel "the ship of death." Saudi authorities refused to accept the sheep because some of the animals were suffering from a low-grade infection known as scabby mouth disease. The percent of the shipment infected is disputed by Australia, which has since sought to find an alternative port for the sheep -- even offering them for free to anyone in the region willing to take them. So far, that offer has drawn a blank. In the meantime Australia has suspended shipments of livestock to the Middle East pending efforts to negotiate a deal with the Saudis guaranteeing that all future exports will be unloaded. No entry On Tuesday Pakistan became the third country to refuse to accept the sheep after authorities in the United Arab Emirates also blocked entry to the vessel. That prompted to animal welfare groups to call for the sheep to be swiftly and humanely killed to end their suffering. "The only way to end the suffering is to have them dead. It's either do it on board or find a port...and send them to an abattoir," RSPCA Australia's Hugh Wirth said. According to another welfare group, Animals Australia, the ship has a "captive bolt gun" on board, which could be used to stun the sheep before their throats are cut. The group's executive director, Glenys Oogjes, told Reuters the carcasses could then be fed into a destroyer, or macerator, on board and the remains could be mixed with water before being pumped into the sea in international waters. Australia is the world's largest exporter of live animals, with Saudi Arabia being its principal market. The trade is worth millions of dollars a year to Australian farmers but animal welfare groups say it causes unnecessary suffering to the animals during their transportation and after their arrival in the Middle East. |

Take it up with the owner of the ship. Clearly not the love boat you would
like to think the cloven footed would travel on. Jock "Rainer Wolfcastle" wrote in message om... Cruel Aussie *******s! Boycott Australia - land of evil f**ks. |

Well personally I had nothing to do with it, Rainer. Nor did anyone I know and nor, I think, did about 17.99 million other Australians. Which makes us a land of evil *corporate* ****s, by all means, but then again that's corporate ****s for you across the globe. We think nothing of enslaving Asian textiles workers and paying them third-world wages to make Nike t-shirts, or paying minimum wage to McDonald's employees all their working life just so we can buy the kids cheap burgers - so in that sense, perhaps 'we' are evil, then again that also includes quite a few of your mob. Welcome to capitalism g Someone made the pertinent point in aus.tv that if we had a proper Halal butchery in Australia, live transportation of stock wouldn't be required. I hope this will make the relevant people look into that. --- Tourette's |

I come here for information from helpful people, as do most people who pop in here from time to time. Mercifully, it is usually free of the sort of idiotic trolling we often get in ras.f1. Do us all a favour and **** off elsewhere with this diarrhoea... David Sorry David. The Aussies engage in this barbaric & inhuman trade. It is a shame that you condone such behavior. The only visage as cruel as the Aussie death ship is when Joe Stalin, the left's hero, had human slave ships for manufacturing. One ship got caught in the ice and Stalin left the people to starve and freeze to death. The good news is the BBC, ITV and U.S. media are picking up the Aussie Ship Of Death & Cruelty story. I think it should be a real boon for Australia's tourism. If I change one traveler's mind about visiting the North Korea that is south of the equator then I will be happy. You know you are really more like Frusciante then you know. I am sure he reads Michael Moore's books like you or at least he looks at the pictures. |
