Live Exports

Hi, I'm running a non profit organisation called PALE People Against
Live Exports attempting to ban Live Exports from Australian shores.
This barbaric trade slaughters over 5million sheep and 1million cattle
inhumanly each year.
These animals are crushed together on ships for long sea voyages,
taking weeks or months to arrive at their destination. They are
subjected to heat stress, sea sickness, disease, injury, starvation,
inadequate supervision and care, ammonia poisoning, on board fires,
ventilation breakdowns, storms and rejection of shipments.

In 2002, more than 73,000 sheep and 17,000 cattle died on board export
vessels. Those who survive the arduous voyage suffer even crueler
practices prior to slaughter. Instead of being herded onto wharfs, they
are often thrown from the ship, sometimes landing 5 meters or more down
into waiting trucks, or concrete loading bays. Those too ill to walk
are winched by chains tied around their foreleg, or by crane-hook
inserted into their chest

Slaughtering finally takes place by slashing of the throat, and without
prior stunning. These are methods that are illegal in Australia.
