More On Australia Torturing The 50,000 Infected Sheep On Aussie Death Ship From Hell
http://www.abc.net.au/ra/newstories/...ies_954321.htm
Evil Aussies Send Out More Death & Torture ships: Sick *******s! http://www.guardian.co.uk/australia/...049920,00.html Australian protest fails to halt export of live sheep Adrift and unwanted David Fickling in Sydney Friday September 26, 2003 The Guardian A freighter carrying 28,000 live sheep left Portland early this morning after police officers ended two days of disruptive protests against Australia's export of live animals. Up to 50 protesters in kayaks and dinghies tried to prevent the al-Kuwait docking on Wednesday and chained themselves to animal pounds yesterday in an attempt to prevent the sheep being loaded. They said that conditions in the ships which carried 6m sheep to mainly Middle Eastern countries last year were disgraceful. "We should not tolerate this sort of brutal trade in this day and age," an Animal Liberation spokesman, Ralph Hahnheuser, said. The demonstration was prompted by the plight of 58,000 sheep which have been stranded in the Gulf for more than a month since the Saudi quarantine authorities refused to let them into the country. The sheep in the MV Cormo Express were barred from the Red Sea port of Jeddah on August 21. Saudi inspectors said 6% of them were suffering from the viral infection scabby mouth. An Australian vet on board reported a rate of 0.35%, and now says the disease has been wiped out. The Australian government and the ship's Dutch owners have been trying to persuade other countries to accept the cargo for free. The United Arab Emirates and Pakistan have refused and other governments in the region are understood to have informally turned down the offer. Following negotiations with the Red Cross, the sheep may soon be offered to Iraq. The Cormo Express remains moored in the Gulf in temperatures which reach the high 30s Celsius during the day. The owners, Vroon, say that about 4,500 animals have died since the Saudi authorities rejected the stock. The Australian RSPCA has suggested the figure could be as high as 6,000, and has called for all the remaining sheep to be slaughtered to prevent further suffering. "Those poor animals could be out of their misery by now," its president, Hugh Wirth, said. "Instead, they are still trapped on that death ship in extreme temperatures, extreme humidity and surrounded by a sea of their own excrement." During a similar dispute between Australia and Saudi Arabia in 1989, one ship took 16 weeks to find a country to take its load of live animals. The condition of the ship has renewed calls in Australia for a ban on the live export trade. The industry says it has cleaned up its act since the mid-90s, when 150,000 sheep were dying every year. Last year 74,000 sheep died in Australian live-export ships. Dead animals are usually dumped at sea, bringing complaints from governments of carcasses being washed up on their beaches. The Australian agriculture minister, Warren Truss, said new regulations governing the trade had been brought in since last year, and the prime minister, John Howard, faced down calls to ban the industry. He told ABC radio: "It is a valuable trade for this country, and while we should always endeavour to have the most humane conditions, we after all do breed animals for consumption." Most of Australia's live animal exports go to the Middle East, where Muslim custom requires halal meat slaughtered in the country of consumption. Saudi Arabia alone takes a third of the total. |

Just to follow Rainers twisted logic through to a natural conclusion,
that's nearly 5% of the number of Jews slaughtered during WW2 by people with names like Rainer Wolfcastle. No I don't hate Germans, no I don't like what the Jews are doing to the Palestinians, no I don't agree with live sheep exports, yes I am an Aussie. So **** off with your twisted logic Rainer. John L.
