  Live chat with Emily Reeves, Campaign Manager HWC

  Morally, I just don’t understand how we can we simply shut our eyes when our sheep arrive at a foreign destination? What level of animal suffering is our nation willing to sanction? At what point will we say enough? These are issues that need to be defined by our leaders. The corporate and business sector will always claim they are just working within the rules of society.  

   Struggling farmers and contractors cannot be expected to champion the rights of sheep going to market. Perhaps the department of Agriculture can exercise our clever country credentials and identify other untapped markets for chilled Australian sheep meat, so that our farmers can remain viable in a humane country.

   

  Wherever animals in our care suffer needlessly, we as a people are diminished.

   

  Thanks again
