Rod "Rainer Wolfcastle" wrote in message om... Sick *******s. 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." |

Australians are torturing animals. They torture 60,000 sheep on a ship.
F-- Off! Aussie are torturing 60,000 animals and this is on a regular
basis. No one deserves to go to that hell hole island run by a bunch of inhumane f**kers! The MV Cormo Express has become the Tampa of the live sheep export trade. Unable to land at their destination of Saudi Arabia, more than 50,000 Australian sheep, loaded in early August, yesterday remained in search of a third country to take them for money, or free. 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. The Government refused to say where the ship was - until the media found it near Dubai - claiming publicity doesn't help the hunt for a country to take them. advertisement advertisement Nor did it want to give mortality figures, fearing it would get locked into running a daily death watch. Releasing figures was left to the ship's owners. Truss has also condemned "unsympathetic reporting of the issues. For commentators, reporters or animal liberation activists to paint the situation in any way that is likely to undermine the confidence of potential buyers is not helpful to the welfare of the sheep." Is he serious? Is he really saying yet another cruel disaster in the livestock export industry should be hushed up? It is not as though this is an isolated incident, as shown by a glance through the October 2002 report from Truss's Independent Reference Group on the trade. Truss asked for more advice from this group - which had recommended a much tighter regime more than two years before - after a spate of bad incidents. The mortality rates during seven voyages last year - all but one to the Middle East - we February, MV Norvantes (bound for Jakarta) 99 cattle (8.5 per cent); June, MV Becrux 880 cattle (44 per cent) and 1418 sheep (2 per cent); July, MV Corriedale Express 6119 sheep (11 per cent); July, MV Al Messilah 2173 sheep (3 per cent); July, MV Al Shuwaikh 5800 sheep (7 per cent); July, Cormo Express 1064 (2 per cent); and September, Al Shuwaikh 2304 sheep (4 per cent). The group saw these as "evidence of systematic failures within the whole live animal export program". It pointed particularly to shipments originating from Portland, where the animals were poorly prepared for voyages. It also said that while some reforms had been made since its February 2000 recommendations, neither industry nor the regulators had been ready for the "cultural change" required. In other words, a lot of feet had been dragged. When the sheep arrived, Saudi officials claimed scabby mouth (against which sheep are now twice vaccinated) was above the accepted limit - a conclusion rejected by the Australian vet. Tempting as it might be to look for a political motive, there is no evidence of this. The Saudis have a record of turning away shiploads. The live sheep trade to Saudi Arabia resumed only in 2000 after more than a decade's suspension by Australia; this had followed shipments being refused on health grounds. The great concern, on the Government's part, is that if there is too much hoo-ha over these sheep, the whole trade will be put in jeopardy. It is worth $200 million to Australia in exports to Saudi Arabia. It's the risk of a dangerous backlash that's prompted the Government to intervene in a private transaction, frantically searching for a destination, even though the sheep, with a Saudi owner, are no longer Australian sheep but Saudi refugees. Already exports to Saudi Arabia have been suspended until this is sorted out. The Government couldn't afford the spectacle of further ships drifting about. There are now two issues: what should be done with these animals? And, is this trade too inhumane to be pursued? Wirth argues that the Government won't be able to find a port for the sheep and it's impractical to bring them home, so they should be progressively put down. But the Australian Veterinary Association, in a rather harrowing news release yesterday, said mass slaughter could be "an animal welfare and environmental disaster". "There will be thousands of litres of blood", it said; animal rights groups "have not considered that the sheep may have to watch the slaughter, nor have they considered the welfare of the people who would have to carry this out". Both the Government and the industry argue against putting down the sheep, still hopeful a destination can be found. The Government doesn't want the sheep repatriated, because it's a long voyage and there are quarantine difficulties; the ship's owners have canvassed the possibility of returning them to Fremantle, although they'd much prefer to offload them regionally. Greens senator Bob Brown yesterday called for the ship to be ordered back at once, saying any quarantine problems are Truss's. Meanwhile Australian authorities are trying to continue negotiations with the Pakistanis, despite their saying they won't take the sheep. Animal rights advocate Peter Singer, who calls for euthanasia in this case, insists the entire live trade is a "disgrace" that should be stopped. "It's a terrible ordeal for the animals at the best of times. They have a nightmare voyage, and then they get treated brutally after they land, as if they were just sacks of wheat rather than living, feeling animals. Every year or two, there is another major scandal . . . The federal minister says that he will implement reforms, but then . . . the same thing, or something worse, happens again." The RSPCA opposes the live export industry, but Wirth recognises that neither side of politics will end it. But he wants much more control over it. So does the Australian public. Even if Truss can solve the Cormo Express problem quickly, what has happened in this and many other instances should weigh on our conscience.
