In the media guide – what you SHOULD say – add the bit about are these Aussie cows, make a big song and dance about needing to see the cattles’ passports, birth certificates and all identification papers.
Because if they torture non-Oz animals who gives a rats…? Clearly, not our government.
Here’s an idea: no livestock trade with cruel pr*cks. Ever.

How many of these places pass “audits” – how? Do they “put on a show for the foreign reviewer”?
And how many, that we find out about later, aren’t audited?
