What are buys for US citizens visiting Sydney-How About 60,000 Sheep the Aussies Are Torturing?
[snip]
Their sorry tale - seven weeks on the sea so far, rather than a fortnight's trip - has raised fresh questions about Australia's billion-dollar live animal export industry, which regularly causes thousands of deaths and inflicts suffering that would not be tolerated onshore. In the face of this, what does Agriculture Minister Warren Truss say? He quotes the on-board vet, saying the sheep - apart from about 3800 that have died - have put on weight. As the RSPCA's Hugh Wirth says, it makes it sound like they're "enjoying some Mediterranean cruise". They might be getting heavier, but it is not because they're living comfortably or normally. Warren Truss claims to have cited independant veterinary advice, but has refused to furnish that advice to the RSPCA or the Australian Veterinary Assocciation (AVA). He has also (according to AVA) refused to allow access to the author of the advice. I am sure Erica Howard loves and believes her children, but on the latest figures 74% don't. I wouldn't be surprised if the advice hasn't yet been written and they are still working on it (reminded me of Yes Prime Minister when Bernard was tangled because he claimed the minutes backed up the story but couldn't provide them because they hadn't been written ... Oooooooops) .... |
