death at sea

The live export industry is in crisis amid revelations thousands of sheep from farms in WA and the eastern States died in extreme heat during a horror voyage to the Middle East on a ship which was back in Fremantle loading animals in 40C conditions last weekend.

So sad to hear the facts of the matter crikey. Agriculture is or was the great engine that drove our countries prosperity.

 

Having grown up in the bush I do know & understand what you are saying but it's sad just the same.

 

Thanks for all the info.


yes, it is terribly sad, I don't deny that.

 

The livestock and the difficulties our farmers face.

 

and it's all interwoven

 

so many industries depend so much on each other to be sustainable themselves.

 

But agriculture is dying.

 

It's just how it is.

 

The generalation farmers are leaving, looking for more secure livlihoods and easier lifestyles.

 

Soon there will be no agriculture left at all if all methods of sustainability are removed.

the farmers also pay a huge levy to the MLA  & were also outraged by the killing boxes.

 

 

 

 


 

 

What is the role of the MLA?

 

What "levy" do the farmers pay?

who is going to operate the abbotoirs?

The MLA are heavily involved..

Evaluation of the LiveCorp, MLA and Australian Government industry relationship

 

The industry outcomes observed today in the Australian live animal export market are the result of collaboration between LiveCorp, MLA, the Australian government and industry. This collaborative approach has involved: the Live Export Program (LEP) a joint venture between LiveCorp and MLA; other LiveCorp activities carried out independently of the LEP;  the Live Animal Trade Program (LATP) โ€” which is funded by the Australian government; ? other activities and policy development through Australian Government agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade; and  industry investment, a continuing commitment to improving animal welfare and structural change in the industry.
