LIVESTOCK exporters are being investigated after allegations Australian sheep are being illegally sold and slaughtered inhumanely at a notorious Kuwait market.
It is the second major Agriculture Department investigation since strict animal welfare rules were implemented after last year’s cattle controversy in Indonesia.
Animals Australia complained after its Kuwaiti investigator found exported sheep were being sold in non-approved markets and killed in makeshift abattoirs, where slaughtermen ignored international guidelines.
The case has raised concerns from activists, Labor backbenchers, the Greens and independents that the new rules rely too much on industry self-regulation.
Since last year exporters have had to comply with rules that assure high welfare standards from farm to slaughter. Animals are tracked so officials know they are slaughtered in approved facilities as well as preventing on-selling of sheep into non-approved abattoirs and feedlots.
Exporters are also required to have supply chains independently audited, and the audit given to the department.
Its halal what do they care about our rules.
OT, the photo in post reminded me about the article and photo in yesterday’s UK Daily Mail depicting an image of blood soaked streets used as a propaganda tool in their war. The first thought that came to mind was Paliwood nonsense given the coincidence of Ramadan/Eid Blood-soaked streets of Syria: Horrific images show city devastated by government air strike with parents struggling to help badly-wounded children
Freaking savages….
Let’s keep our animals in our country where the Humane Society, ASPCA and PETA, maintain a close watch. Even, then, there are Muslims, here, who use the halal method and torture them in other ways in our slaughterhouses. Tyson’s Foods for one. No one buy meat from them until they get rid of all Muslims.
