Default 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.

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.

How does this make Aussies evil?

Or are you simple?

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.
