Dear Mr Dog on Moon, this is a sad, tragic and all too true tale. Why livestock are shipped such long distances rather than processed* locally and the meat shipped overseas is beyond any sense.
*Processed is of course a euphemism for killing, gutting and chopping up into saleable portions of dead animal. I may be an omnivore but I don’t hid from the process and I firmly believe it should be done in the least stressful way to the animals in question. Live animal exports are just cruel and barbaric.

Poignant and right to the heart, Mr Dog.
Please, Dogonauts, call your federal MPs and Senator Ludwig’s office at Parliament House to register opposition to the cruel trade of live sheep export.
Our politicians are constantly banging on about creating jobs – they could create hundreds by shipping packaged meat instead of the tormented creatures.

We`ve never been on a boat. Our ancestor went on one once. He was branded, herded aboard in chains, beaten regularly and starved while being taken to the other side of the world. Humans can be so inhuman sometimes. Baaaaa.
