CALL TO ACTION: Click on this link to urge our leaders to stop the proposed Animal Live Export Bill currently under consideration: https://stopliveexport.tiiny.site/ 

SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION:

There are several problems with this Bill:

Animals are not objects to be bought and sold for profit and this bill treats them as commodities rather than sentient beings. This bill also lacks provisions for their welfare and well-being.

Recently, New Zealand banned the export of animals due to ethical concerns. However, in India, known as the land of ahimsa, instead of stopping export, the government wants to pass a new bill that would facilitate easier animal import and export.

We must strongly oppose the proposed Animal Live Export Bill currently under consideration. We firmly believe that this bill will have detrimental consequences for animal welfare and is contrary to our moral obligation to protect and treat animals with compassion.
We must be deeply disturbed by the inhumane practices associated with animal live export. The transportation of live animals over long distances, often under cramped and unsanitary conditions, inflicts significant distress and suffering on these innocent beings. Numerous reports and investigations have exposed instances of overcrowding, inadequate ventilation, and a lack of access to proper food, water, and medical care during transportation. Such treatment is not only morally wrong but also poses a serious risk to the physical and mental well-being of animals.

Furthermore, the live export industry raises serious concerns regarding disease transmission and biosecurity. The transportation of animals across borders significantly increases the potential for the spread of infectious diseases, endangering both animal and human health. Past incidents have demonstrated the link between the live export trade and outbreaks of diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza. It is crucial that we prioritize the well-being and safety of our communities by avoiding practices that expose us to unnecessary risks.

Additionally, supporting animal live export contradicts the global movement towards more compassionate and sustainable practices. Many countries have already implemented bans or stringent regulations on live animal exports due to the ethical and environmental concerns associated with this trade.

Thank you for considering our perspective, and we sincerely request you to click on the link in the CALL TO ACTION section at the top and send the email to our leaders.
