Aussie Torture Of 50,000 Sheep On Death Ship Continues! Avoid Australia! Industry of Cruelty!
Avoid Australia and tell your friends about these cruel Aussie
*******s! Looks like New Zealand also engages in this barbaric behavior too. Dirty little Aussie secrets: 1. Cruel animal and sheep industrys where sheep are tortured on endless sea voyages. 2. A large number of backpackers are murdered in the country. Usually women who are raped and killed. The country is not safe due to the cruel streak. Avoid. http://www.anc.org/farm/farm_article...003_0919_sheep http://www.itv.com/news/1006739.html No home for 50,000 sheep 21.32PM BST, 23 Sep 2003 Australia is trying to to persuade Pakistan to accept more than 50,000 sheep stranded on a ship for almost a month after being rejected by Saudi Arabia. Pakistani authorities have refused to take the animals, which are being offered for free by their anonymous Saudi importer. They said they could not accept "unhealthy sheep" which have also been spurned by the United Arab Emirates. But a spokesman for Australian agriculture minister Warren Truss said Australia was still in talks with Pakistan and other unidentified countries. It is trying to help the Saudi owner find a port to unload the sheep, the subject of increasing protests from animal rights groups. Mr Truss's spokesman said: "Pakistan's announcement that they have denied approval for the Saudi-owned sheep on the Cormo Express to be unloaded there is disappointing. "But negotiations with Pakistan and other countries are continuing." Australia maintains the sheep are in good health and even putting on weight, but has refused to detail the death toll aboard their carrier, the Cormo Express. The ship's Dutch owner, Vroon BV, says 3,770 of the original cargo of 57,937 sheep have died since the ship left western Australia on August 5. The sheep have been in limbo with nowhere to go since they were banned by Saudi Arabia on August 28 on the grounds that six per cent had scabby mouth, above an agreed level of five per cent. Australia says only 0.35 per cent have the low-risk disease. Animal rights groups have called for the immediate humane slaughter of the sheep and want a ban imposed on Australia's livestock export industry. But Vroon spokesman Cor Radings said the sheep were in relatively good health at present with the death rate dropping markedly since the ship went back out to sea. Officials have not specified the location of the ship, except to say it is somewhere in the Gulf. But, according to a Pakistani cabinet minister, the ship was at the port of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates last week. "We have brought in extra food supplies. We have brought in extra water. There is maximum ventilation on board," Radings told Australian radio. Australia, the largest livestock exporter in the world, has suspended exports of sheep to Saudi Arabia, its largest market, since the row erupted. |
