Nice picture of cruelty in action. Looks like Australia, Tasmania and
New Zealand engage in this cruel and macabre trade of misery, torture
& death.

Sick Australia loads up another ship of death. Now they will have two
death ships that torture sheep that go from port to port with no
takers while the animals suffer. Flying Dutchmans or Mary Celeste
ship with no ports filled with suffering and misery. Maybe the
Aussies can have a million suffering sheep stuck at sea. Avoid
Australia - they are cruel and sick *******s.

Authorities were due to begin loading sheep aboard a livestock ship in
Victoria's south-west after police removed protesters who were
blocking the operation.

Police said seven trucks of sheep were on the wharf at the Port of
Portland, ready to be taken aboard the livestock carrier Al Kuwait.

Animal welfare protesters had earlier chained themselves to a fence
and used several cars to blockade a feedlot containing the sheep.

"Police were forced to remove them and seven trucks were able to get
out with sheep onboard," a police spokesman said.

"This situation is ongoing. They got the sheep out about 11am, and
they'll keep returning to get more."

The Al Kuwait, bound for the Persian Gulf, docked about 7.30am (AEST)
without incident, after strong winds prevented protesters entering the
water.

Police on Wednesday invoked the Marine Act and placed a 200 metre
exclusion zone around the vessel.

The Portland drama comes amid growing controversy over the live sheep
trade, with a shipload of Australian sheep still aboard the MV Cormo
Express in the Persian Gulf.


According to reports, more than 4,000 of the 57,000 foreign-owned
sheep that left the West Australian port of Fremantle on August 5 have
died as the Australian government searches for a country that will
accept them
