Anger over 60,000 sheep stranded on ship
By Nick Squires
(Filed: 23/09/2003)


The Australian government is under growing pressure over a 'ship of
shame', carrying nearly 60,000 sheep and stranded in the waters of the
Gulf for weeks, which was refused permission to land.

The fate of the animals, carried by the transporter Cormo Express, has
gripped Australia and forced the government on to the defensive
following attacks from animal rights groups and the opposition.

It has been issuing daily statements on the animals' welfare, claiming
that they have gained weight since leaving Australia.

The agriculture minister, Warren Truss, said the sheep were reported
to be in excellent condition by a vet on board the ship. He declined
to say how many have died.


Such issues are still taken very seriously in Australia, a country
said to have "ridden the sheep's back" to economic prosperity.

The government has faced demands for the animals' immediate slaughter
after seven weeks aboard ship.

The odyssey began when Saudi Arabia rejected the sheep because six per
cent had a disease known as scabby mouth, just above the previously
agreed standard of five per cent. Canberra then offered to give the
sheep free to the United Arab Emirates. The suggestion was rejected.

Pakistan yesterday became the latest country to refuse to take the
animals, despite also being offered them free.

"We are grateful that they considered giving as a gift that huge
quantity to Pakistan, but we cannot accept unhealthy sheep," said the
farm minister, Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind.

In Australia, opposition MPs and animal rights activists say the
sheep, enduring temperatures of more than 100F, should be put down
humanely as "the best of a terrible range of options". Otherwise the
ship will become a "floating charnel house".

Critics acknowledge that slaughtering the sheep would involve huge
problems, including how to dispose of the dead animals at sea.

Bob Brown, the leader of Australia's minority Green Party, said: "To
put 57,000 sheep through a mincer and into the ocean isn't a very good
environmental outcome."

Baby killing americans need those sheep to get to sleep at night. Funny how
sheep in trouble causes such a stir, but dead babies and children nary a
tear.

Americans are sick.

The sheep were bought in Australia by a Saudi middle man who currently
owns them. The article in the Melbourne AGE this morning says they
are well fed and some are putting on weight.
