Animal in Transport
After a TV documentary exposed the harsh, obscene, and deadly conditions cattle endure while being exported to Indonesia on ocean-going vessels and being mistreated in their abattoirs, and the public outcry that followed, Australia suspended cattle trade with that country. Now, a month later, and certainly many dollars lost with Australia’s largest live cattle market, the ban has been lifted.
As reported by the BBC:
Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig said he was satisfied that the animals would not be mistreated.
That’s it. The end. The 700,000 cattle transported to Indonesia- on ships- worth AU$300,000,000- per year- will no longer be mistreated. “New guidelines” have been put in place despite Indonesian officials denying the reports of animal cruelty. What a difference a month makes, right?

Not surprising. When money’s involved, human and animal rights take the backseat. Disgusting.
