Live sheep sales to middle eastern countries will eventually be banned over next five years.
Scaled back at moment are shipped mostly from WA think up to 35000 sheep on a vessel.
Many of these countries "have" to have live sheep for cultural reasons and will not accept frozen so they will just get them from else were.
Anyway reason for the ban was a "sixty minutes" story which showed cruelty, lack of ventilation lack of space etc etc. A crewman filmed it.
Many smelt a rat. Many knew of scullduggery but had no proof other than word of mouth.
Comes out today the crewman was paid $38,000 to turn of ventilation for a while so sheep were distressed panting puffing and he filmed it. Hes a guy from not sure oman or somewere more money than he will earn in his life. He as the "whistleblower" became PETAs person of the year.
So now a whisltleblower has blown a whistle on the whistleblower.
Animals australia have not commented but emails/messages have been leaked one can presume all the crewman got them.
So the call is now not necessarily get live sheep trade back 100% think thats unlikely but AnimalsAustralia to be charged with animal cruelty gonna be interesting.
And ps australias live shipping is seen to be best in the world.
One of me best mates is a farmer and head of merino breeders in WA knew of upcoming dramas and brown paper bags a month before sixty minutes couldnt do a thing.
Its claimed ventilation wasnt turned off only suggested.
oh and sorry for my views austranada
