Australian Government (Prime Minister Julia Gillard): Ban Live Export

The issue

Australia has been exporting live sheep and cows to the Middle East and Indonesia for the last 30 years, with the animals suffering horrible conditions on the trip there, with many dying in transit. Once they arrive at their destinations, they are not covered by any Animal Welfare laws and are subjected to extreme cruelty and torture, visit www.banliveexport.com where it is really explained better. This is horrific and must be stopped, not resumed when supposedly animal welfare practice is considered acceptable. A total ban is the only way to make sure that these animals are not tortured any more. Watch the videos to understand how horrific this is, if you can stomach it, I myself could not. Internation attention may bring the Australian Government to BAN Live Export now!
