Petition to Stop Live Animal Export

To The Honourable the President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The Petition of the undersigned protests in the strongest possible terms against the live-export of Australian animals.

During transportation the animals are subjected to inhumane conditions resulting in unacceptably high death rates and suffering. Upon arrival, they suffer extreme cruelty and barbarism prior to and during slaughter - practices that are illegal in Australia.

Your petitioners call upon the members of the Senate to immediately, and without delay, ban the live export of Australian livestock.

This is the second round of the petition. Signatures from the first round were archived and can be viewed here.)

2011-12-11 Tanara Lynn United States The human race makes me sick. I truly believe no living thing is more important than another. That being said, I'd save an animal before a human because we're all essentially evil while they're innocent (apart from their natural instinct). If to be human means to be humane, and to be humane means to possess moral and ethical intelligence, are WE really even 'HUMAN' at all?

2011-12-04 stephen shorthose wales this barbaric practice must stop there is absolutely no need for it in this day and age
2011-11-30 Samantha Pulsford Australia I urge you to show humanity and ban live exports.It is inhumane and barbaric the conditions the animals endure for weeks on these death ships, only to be slaughtered without stunning and die torturous deaths on arrival. These practices are banned in Australia due to animal cruelty,therefore it is only logical and moral to cease sending Australian animals to countries which lack our Animal Welfare Standards.

2011-10-06 Sandie Australia The Australian live export trade is shameful, indenfensible and unnecessary. It needs to be replaced by an expanded chilled and frozen meat one as soon as possible. That way we keep meat workers jobs in Australia and we can protect our animals under Australian animal welfare laws.

2011-09-09 CAROLYN COOPER THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS WHY THIS TRADE SHOULD BE STOPPED. ANIMALS ARE LIVING BEINGS AND FOR SOME REASON (MANY) HUMAN BEINGS THINK THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT EVER IS NECESSARY TO MAKE BUCK. FROM THIS AND OTHER INDUSTRIES INVOLVING ANIMALS I AM DISGUSTED AND TOTAL HORRIFIED AT HOW PEOPLE THINK !!!! HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

2011-09-07 Ellie England I find it sickening how animals are treated in this world and the sooner it stops the better! We need to make it illegal here too! Or swap the animals with thugs and offenders!!
2011-09-06 Kyffin Hammond-Chate Australia
2011-09-06 Jill Warren United Kingdom This is barbaric and so unnecessary when the animals can be humanely destroyed before being transported.
2011-09-06 Nancy Bowring England Packing hundreds of sheep tightly together and forcing them to endure thousands of miles in pergatory is a crime against humanity and must be stopped without delay.
2011-09-06 Linda UK I find it hard to believe that you Australians are so cruel to animals. What is it with you? Not allowed to be cruel to the indigenous people anymore so you exercise your cruel natures on God's animals. All people engaging in these disgusting practices should should be forced to experience them themselves.
2011-09-06 JOHN CRIPPS ENGLAND I am completely against the live exports being sent from the port of Ramsgate. Very badly treated, we have a responsibility for the well fare of these dumb creatures that have to give up their lives to feed us, this torturous treatment involved in their live export process must be stopped.

2011-09-04 Holly Australia STOP LIVE EXPORT I have reseached it for school and it is vile if it doesn't stop then this a crule world, and to let it keep on going for so long. Up to thousands of sheep die on the trip over there and the ones that don’t get killed get killed in the Middle East and East Asia in ways that are illegal in Australia and is unbelievable. It's grows with what they do to the poor sheep just cause it has to be Halaled meat.. >:(
2011-09-02 Elise Australia The way these animals are being treated is absolutely disgusting! Animals, just like human beings, have feelings, and they should be treated humanely. What I am hearing about the way they are being treated makes me feel sick!
2011-09-01 Helen Jennings Australia I have come to realise that all living creatures have an intrinsic right to be treated with respect. Their suffering in abattoirs especially in less developed countries is a violation of their rights. Perhaps we should be instigating legislation to assist us and the rest of the world to move towards more humane animal slaughtering conditions for a start.
2011-09-01 Janine Robertson Australia You must stop this cruel and shocking industry...ban live export NOW!!!!!!
2011-08-29 Eliza Morse Australia This is wrong. And I want to make a difference for the beings we heartlessly slaughter for our own benefit.
2011-08-28 Katherine Stainsby Australia I'm completely against intensive farming and live animal exports.
2011-08-27 Kathryn Woolfe Australia Three decades of animal abuse provide their own evidence, the live export industry must be banned.Australians are outraged by the monumental cruelty meted out to countless millions of animals. The politicians, the MLA, and others with vested interests, are the only people who want live exports to continue. The Australian public want Live Exports banned. We demand an end to the cruelty.
2011-08-27 Elaine Swords Australia It is sickening that money comes before cruelty !!!

2011-08-26 Charlie Williams USA, Michigan Please stop this inhumane method of slaughter. I encourage you to follow New Zealand's lead. If Australia would establish their own slaughter houses with "Best Practices" and humane slaughter it would reflect well upon the country. I ask you to "DO THE RIGHT THING" morally and ethically, do it for the animals sake and for the conscience of the Australian people. The world is watching and will not let this pass...I assure you. Thank You....the decision is easy, don't let big business influence your moral decision. Charlie Williams 8010 Greenfield Shores Scotts, Michigan 49088 USA

2011-08-24 annabel.leonard-schulz australia we all know that people wil always eat meat so the killing of animals for human consumption will always be.BUT in saying that the animals to be slaughtered are australian breed,born & raised so let them be killed in the own country where slaughter houses can be easily monitored. Exporting our live animals to the middle east & asia means a journey of pain, stress & suffering to be followed by brutal barbaric & cruel manhandling up until their slaughter. These are 2 countries wher animals are nothing but a commodity or objects to devour. Animals dont register on any scale of care over there and that has been reported, on numerous occassions. We to take a stand and demand that our animals deserve the best that australia can do for them and thats not sending them over seas to be brutally butchered!!!

Many Australians think we send our animals to backward countries – WE are the backward ones living in the “Dark Ages”! Ban Live Export!
2011-08-20 Geoffrey Grace Australia Live sheep exports should be immediately halted until destination abbatoirs are fully accredited by a credible independant authority cerifies they are a humane animal handler. The dreadful treatment of any live animal exported from Australia should be stopped.

2011-08-16 Terri Lowe Australia Perhaps you could assist the farmers who currently profit from this barbaric trade with diversifying to a more humane form of produce.
2011-08-16 Krystal Australia I would happily kill one of those bastards who is hurting the animals. The government is so screwed knowing this was going on and is only now looking at it. But still undecided whether it should stop or not is unbeleivable. Its disgusting there blood is on our hands.

2011-07-23 Anne Australia We call on the Government to immediately halt the live export of Australian animals to Indonesia and move towards an end to all live exports of Australian animals within 3 years. A huge public outcry right now, while the Government and the public are paying close attention, can ensure that not one more ship loaded with Australian cattle is allowed to leave an Australian port bound for Indonesia. If you've seen the horrific footage of cattle being TORTURED in Indonesian abattoirs you'll know there is simply no room for more excuses from an industry that has had over a decade to fix this problem. www.getup.org.au/campaigns/animals/live-export/ban-live-export Our campaigners are in Canberra tonight with experts from the RSPCA and Animals Australia. The Agriculture Minister has already started to walk back from his previous support for live exports -- but another inquiry or investigation isn't enough. It's time to end live exports. Please join the campaign and forward this email to friends and family. Thanks for taking a stand,
2011-07-21 maryanne Australia PLEASE STOP THIS BARBARIC TRADE. STOP OUR ANIMALS FROM BEING TORTURED AND BRUTALIZED.

2011-07-06 Patricia Porter Australia Shame on our government, it took months to come to a decision regarding Carbon tax (still no clarity on this ) but it took only a few hours for the prime minister to back flip after vowing in parliament she would not allow it unless.... she gave heaps of great reasons why not to , unfortunately Canberra has buckled under the loss of the mighty dollar, a price will have to be paid (KARMA)
2011-07-01 Maddison Canuto Australia Pain doesnt just belong to the human race.
2011-06-29 Joan Legg Australia The six month ban on live export must be extended forever and to all countries. We cannot expect to have any influence over another country as has been proven by Indonesia's refusing access to their abattoirs for inspections now. MLA cannot be trusted ever again to be truthful, the only solution is an end to this disgusting trade.

There follows a period of silence until the next investigation that unfathomably but invariably finds more of the same!

2011-06-22 Cassandra Cartwright Australia I think that it is a disgrace to inhumanely torcher animals. The government should be ashamed subjecting our animals to such cruelty just for a buck. The footage which has been televised is barbarick and horribly cruel. I can't believe we subject our innocent animals to such barbarism and cruelty. These practices are illegal here so why are we subjecting our animals to go through these conditions somewhere else?. What else is disturbing is Australians use sheep and cattle for wool and milk and then send them overseas to be torchered and cruely killed.

2011-06-15 Tina Smith Australia Never have I witnessed such vile, horrendeous cruelty as portrayed in the indoesian abattoirs, or should I say Indonesian torture chambers! Im am disgusted and appalled the Australian government allows, condones, and indeed assists such barbarism and extreme suffering on our animals. No amount of money nor good will can excuse such depravity nor those who help it along...namely AUSTRALIA!!! It brings nothing but shame upon the heads of every Australian to allow and condone such inhumanity! Its a national disgrace!
2011-06-15 Kathryn Keen Australia This is a cruel trade that has destroyed local industries. Ban the live exports & bring back jobs for Australians, whilst enabling proper oversight & controls to ensure Australian welfare standards are met. It's the obvious solution. NZ has already led the way in this & shown it can be done without harming the beef industry.
2011-06-15 Sharon Andrews Australia I want live export stopped. It is cruel and unnecessary. Technology has come so far yet Australia is still going ahead with this barbaric practice. Yep Australia's shame all right. Let's follow NZ and refuse to do it.

2011-06-14 Wendy Bowring Australia (I am shocked, horrified and sickened by the way animals are treated in Indonesian abattoirs. I cannot understand how any person could knowingly send an animal to such a fate. A few years ago it was Egypt, which now imports chilled or frozen beef. Let us follow New Zealand's good example and not export live animals for slaughter overseas.)
2011-06-14 Lee McKay Australia No amount of money or job losses can justify this cruel and abhorrent trade. LiveCorp, MLA, the farmers and the government should hang their heads in collective shame.
2011-06-14 Lindel Barker Australia I have been writing to the Government for years about this wickedly cruel live animal trade. Now the general public's attention has been gained.

2011-06-12 Kelly McBride AUSTRALIA Australia has no control over animal rights laws overseas. Time to stop sending our creatures to a place where we can't protect their welfare and leave them open to torture and cruel acts. Animals have feeling and DO FEEL PAIN! Even the animals that people eat deserve respect and a death that is as pain free as possible. We can not provide these standards of animal rights in another country. Happy to support a tax payer subsidy to support farmers find another way to make an income when we end this. WE MUST END IT!!! LIVE ANIMAL EXPORTS, DON'T SUSPEND IT END !!!!!!

2011-06-12 Julie Biddulph Australia I am against the export of live animals. It would be more economical and create jobs within Australia if you were to stop the export of live animals.

2011-06-12 Anissa Jones Australia No matter what slant people want to put on it to justify having live animal exporting, its wrong in everyway possible! We have an obligation as a society (worldwide) to protect any living creature from undue pain and suffering. The live animal export is AGAINST all that is morally and ethically right. It has been going on for way too long, enough is enough. Countries that we export to do not have any protection for animals and therefore we should not be supporting these barbaric acts to continue by supplying. Globally we have a responsibility to be humane. If anyone even thinks that supporting live animal exports is ok, they need to re-think as there is no need for it in this day and age. This practice must stop immediately - ban ALL live animal exports!

2011-06-12 Gill Mumford Australia No animal should have to be so cruelly slaughtered in this way. Why have the cattle people of Australia turned a blind eye for so long to this unecessary cruelty? Blood on your hands and on the hands of politicians who look the other way.

2011-06-08 Meghan Stuthridge New Zealand It is unneccessary and cruel to let live export be sent to other countries, especially those without proper regulations, defying animal rights that would be enforced in their original countries. Please stop live export of Australian animals, and give a clear signal to us here in New Zealand to follow suit and ensure that our animals are being treated with respect.
2011-06-08 Bruce Avent Australia Conditions which currently apply to the shipment of these animals is appalling.

2011-06-08 Ross Wilson Northern Ireland We don't own the world, we share it with the animals! Imagine how you would like it, being treated so badly, if it was animals of any kind being the dominant species.
2011-06-08 Sarah UK People get away with hurting animals like this because nobody stops them, and everyone lets it go unpunished simply because the animal can't speak. It can't vocally defend its self. By the same merit, don't you think that since it cant physically defend itself that this is a more serious crime than anyone seems to think? I'm honestly ashamed of those workers, and ashamed of the live stock trade for sending cattle to places they're treated like this.

If we must export...then let them be humanely slaughtered here in Australia and delivered in a form where they cannot be tortured or have to suffer.
2011-06-07 Sue Hutcheson Australia I have been a vegetarian for 35years precisely because of this type of cruelty that people in general can do to any animals. Ban ALL live exports completely!
2011-06-07 Lenny Rose Australia Live export, usually ends in brutal and barbaric death, please stop this now. We must kill them here then export! Australia is the only country in the southern hemisphere to export without foot and mouth disease, so we hold much sway!
2011-06-07 elizabeth mccasker australia Until the live export trade is banned completely I will petition, protest, email and phone my local MP, State Senator and the Australian Prime Minister. It is reprehensible that "we" have allowed this trade to go on for almost 20 years even though the evidence was there that atrocities were being perpetrated against these animals all along. No one in our government or the MLA took an ethical stance. The only consideration seems to be the dollar. 9 days after some of the footage from these slaughterhouses has been viewed and the Australian public is yet to hear from their Prime Minister. It is time for the live export trade to stop.

2011-06-04 Steve Hammond Australia After witnessing the brutal handling and torture of our Australian cattle in Indonesia, I am petitioning the Government every way I can to Ban live export and rejuvinate the Australian abatoir Industry. I have been asking for a study into an Abatoir also in the NT or top of WA to process meat for Indonesian markets. Halal could be used in the humane way and meat exported frozen. The $5 levy per head farmers currently give to livecorp could go to your industry or to installing refridgeration in processed meat recieving areas throughout Indonesia. Supporting you all the way lets create jobs for Australians in the meat industry and ban live export for good. Steve Hammond INGHAM FNQ
2011-06-04 Clare Williams Australia After witnessing the horrendous treatment of Australian cattle in Indonesia, I am appalled that this cruelty has been allowed to continue for so long. While the live export industry turns a blind eye to animal cruelty, the distressing images of animals being brutalised in importing countries are beamed into the living rooms of the Australian public with every new investigation. How many more times must we bear witness to such horror before the government intervenes? The animal abuse documented in these investigations would never be permitted on Australian soil, yet for decades the industry has continued to send live animals to countries regardless of the cruelty that likely awaits them. Time and time again, the live export industry has proven that it cannot be trusted to uphold animal welfare or be honest with the Australian public. Decisive action is long overdue. Please act to protect Australian animals from further brutality by ending this cruel trade once and for all. All live export must be banned.
2011-06-04 Sean Colgan Australia I want this stopped- I have never agreed with this practice- it may cause the farmers a small hiccup but it will give rise to Australian abbatoirs again, with correct practices, and bring jobs back to Australia as people of the world must eat.

We have the means to provide proper and humane methods of slaughter in our own country so we should carry out this process in Australia where our animals can at least die with dignity! I am sickened by our failing leadership which lacks being "human and humane" in addressing this tragedy!

2011-06-02 Nicole Australia These beautiful animals are capable of feeling all of the same physical and emotional pain that humans are. This treatment is unacceptable and the humans carrying out this cruelty are simply evil.
2011-06-02 Nola Allen 20 Mary St, Amamoor.Qld I was so distressed, I could not watch. As individuals, we could try a couple of vegetarian meals, per week.

There is no way that laws could be implemented and enforced in another country to ensure the animals are killed humanely.It is obvious those people just dont consider the animals feel pain,otherwise this would not have happened or there would be laws in place there to ensure it did not happen. Show some guts for a change and pull the plug on this practice.

2011-06-02 Lisa Australia Please help give these animals a voice. This is cruel and barbaric. People who subject to animals cruelty should be ashamed of themselves. Only we can stop this from happening. Let's take a stand and help stop this.
2011-06-02 Jocelyn Dexter Australia Exporting live animals is a barbaric practice that causes unnecessary suffering. It is time the industry and government stopped turning a blind eye to this inhumane treatment of farm animals in the interests of profits. I do not understand how ANY farmer could live with the knowledge that their animals are destined for live export. I myself have not eaten red meat for over 20 years as I REFUSE to support an industry that condones this hideous export. (enter comments here)
2011-06-02 Jo-Anne Creek Australia These practices have gone on far too long and must be shut down immediately. How can we call ourselves a civilized country if we are prepared to enable animal mistreatment on this scale.
2011-06-02 Lorraine McConville Australia I am sickened by the blatant cruelty. If these countries cannot accept our meat that has been slaughtered by Australians to our standards, then trade should cease.

2011-06-02 Jan Kendall Australia We must keep up the momentum until there is a ban on all live exports, because we cannot enforce our animal welfare laws in Third World countries that lack basic standards. Our animals deserve better than this from gutless politicians. Suspending only the abusive abattoirs filmed won't work; we have no control over where our animals are sent in Indonesia.
2011-06-02 Emma Dixon Australia Discraseful, how can their own countries allow it?

I'm ashamed to call you a fellow human being. yourselves
2011-06-01 Diane Fox Australia More AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS - CATTLE - are at present being loaded on to ships and going to one of the other 110 Indonesian Abbatoirs. Julia Gillard and the weak Joe Ludwig have only stopped OUR AUSTRALIAN CATTLE GOING TO 10 INDONESIAN ABBATOIRS. As a woman, humanist,sentient being, as animals are, and a feminist - Julia Gillard get off your arse and stop this cruel trade of AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS NOW. We have AUSTRALIAN ABBATOIRS WHICH CAN BE FIXED IN HARDEN NSW, KATHERING NT AND PROVIDE JOBS FOR AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE TO MORE HUMANELY KILL AUSTRALIAN CATTLE AND WE CAN SEND THE MEAT, FROZEN, TO OTHER COUNTRIES.

2011-06-01 Annette Schneider Australia Australia's self and international image can only be harmed by this trade. Treat our animals according to our laws and keep the profits from the industry in this country. QLD abattoirs have indicated that they could handle more stock from the NT. As Dr Jones of the RSPCA said, "This is what Australian industry presence in Indonesia for two decades has achieved. Putting live exporters in charge of animal welfare is like putting tobacco companies in charge of the public health system."

2011-06-01 Joy Clelland Australia The live animal (sheep and cattle) trade earns only one billion dollars a year. This could be covered this year by a one-off levy of $50 on 20 million Australians to shut it down immediately. The government needs to invest in chilled beef distribution points in coastal and inland Indonesia and regularly supply these points with Australian-killed chilled beef.

2011-06-01 Cheryl Hall Australia It is important to stop livestock exported overseas. There is no need to transport livestock other than to proper slaughter house facilities within Australia, controlled by Australians, to Australian standards. We have no obligation to provide live meat to the middle east, indonesia or any where else, the meat is best butchered and packed on Australian shores for shipment around the world. The shipping, transportation and handling of livestock from the time they leave the ranch/farm where they are raised needs to be monitored, the trucking system and holding yards can be dodgey to say the least, to then herd frightened cattle, tired and injured from land journeys onto vessels at port ( Broome for one example), then to stay penned up at port for a minimum of 24 hrs. before a horrendous long sea journey is totally unacceptable legislation and must be ceased immediately. I have witnesses livestock at Broome recently, their conditions are cramped and they are standing up stacked in cattle trucks, urinating/pooing over each other, they fall over in the truck and trampled upon. There is no justification for this type of treatment, nor care for the livestock prior to the sea voyage, on board the vessel and definately not at their receiving end. This is not Australian to accept their treatment for so long knowing what the livestock go through, we should hang our heads in shame. Stop the treatment, setup proper slaughter houses on Australian shores, export the meat not the animal. Please stop and listen to Australians, please take a look at the livestock as they are being exported, the fear in their eyes, the state of their confinement and the conditions they are forced to endure.

2011-06-01 Christina Heath Australia The live animal trade is inhumane and barbaric. The Australian government has devasted country communities by the closure of local abbattoirs and the support of the hideous live animal trade. They couldn't give a stuff about all the people who have lost their jobs in local abbattoirs. Yet they use the loss of jobs in the live trade industry as justification for their continued support of the suffering of these beautiful and gentle animals. Hang your heads in shame Australian policticians.

2011-06-01 Teghan Boland Australia If the Indonesians want their cattle to be slaughtered the Islamic way, let them do it to their own, smaller cattle. Even then it is a way that is disgusting and is horrifically distressing and painful to the animal. Anyone who has been around cattle when another has been killed and there is blood around know that they are uncooperative and have a fear in them. These conditions are not by any means clean and hygienic. This is just downright in human and the old ways need to be stopped if they want to continue eating Australian Beef!

We must not export live animals (especially to third world countries), where they have no regard for animals. The animals should be slaughtered here in Australia and exported as frozen or chilled meat. Religious beliefs should not be accepted for cruely. STOP LIVE EXPORT NOW!!
2011-06-01 Adrian Hanks Australia Live export MUST stop. All animals should be slaughtered humanely in Australia and exported as chilled or frozen product. Footage on 4 Corners made my blood boil - it is a disgraceful practice!! and should stop immediately.

2011-06-01 Rod Cleary Australia This is absolutely apalling. This government should be ashamed of itself, as a country we should be ashamed of ourselves, as I think we are, for allowing these exports to continue. The export dollar argument has no place and only makes the situation more ugly and unnaceptable. No human being has the right to condone animals being treated in this way. STOP IT NOW!

2011-05-31 Mithila Naidu India I write to express my opposition to Australia's live export trade and to urge you to support the Live Animal Export Restriction and Prohibition Bill 2011 that will place special conditions on exporters of live animals and will see a complete ban on live animal export by July 2014. As you will be aware, numerous investigations have exposed the brutal treatment of Australian animals in countries in Asia and the Middle East. The recent uncovering of the cruelty inflicted on Australian cattle in Indonesia further evidences the complete failure of the live export industry to improve the treatment of the animals overseas. The international public is fed up with industry spin. The damning evidence from countless investigations makes it abundantly clear that the industry cannot be trusted to uphold animal welfare or be honest with the international public. The only appropriate course of action now is to ban this trade and prevent any more animals suffering such a needlessly cruel fate. This bill is an important opportunity to right a grievous wrong that has hung over us as a nation for decades. It is an opportunity to send a strong message to those who would harm animals that we do not condone animal abuse, and to establish ourselves as a compassionate and ethical society in the world community. It is worth noting that independent economic reports by ACIL Tasman also predict positive benefits to your economy from an end to the live trade. The international public does not need to see any more gruesome footage of this trade online, we simply need to see this trade stopped. I implore you to support the Live Animal Export Restriction and Prohibition Bill 2011 and do everything you can to stop the suffering of animals in the live export industry as soon as possible. You have the support of the Indian public behind you. Please make the right decision!

2011-05-31 Christine K Australia I cannot believe that so called HUMANS are capable of SUCH HORRIFIC CRUELTY. Do these Slaughter men think that these animals do not feel PAIN? It was as if they ENJOYED INFLICTING PAIN on these TOTALLY STRESSED, PETRIFIED, ANIMALS. If the role were reversed, would these slaughter men like to be treated the same way. ALL ANIMALS DESERVE TO BE TREATED HUMANLY AND WITH RESPECT. One day, when it's their turn (SLAUGHTER MEN)to die, I hope it,s ALSO SLOW AND PAINFUL, (to give them time to think about the horrific pain and agony that our cattle went through.

2011-05-30 Tracie Scullion Australia i witnessed on the Four Corners program aired on 30/5/11 the most inhumane treatment of cattle imaginable which was supposedly the 'halal' method of slaughter. it certainly was not the painless method i have read it is and the poor animals even try to get up off the floor with their necks half slashed with a blunt saw..only to have their hindlegs slashed so they cant get up again..to say this is unnaceptable is the epitomy of an understatement. anyone who saw this program could never unsee what they have seen.

2011-05-30 Matthew Hartmann Australia For the FIRST time in 23 years, I am REVOLTED and DISGUSTED in this country! The treatment of animals I've seen tonight is beyond any form human decency and the people who subject these animals to such treatment should be placed in those cattle yards, and led to slaughter houses. REVOLTING, DISGUSTING AND IN-HUMANE!! Damn the people to hell who say otherwise!!!!!!!
2011-05-30 Kate Baldry Australia how the hell is it OK for anyone of any culture to repeatedly smash a living creature over the head with a length of chain, stab out its eyes, slash its throat 18 times or most horrifically start to dismember it whilst fully conscious? I cannot see how this can ever be condoned
2011-05-30 terese blissett australia I offen hear farmers say how much they love there animals,what a joke.they know how the animals are treated overseas. stop,stop,stop live animal export,not later but NOW
2011-05-30 Nick Australia I'm almost speechless. The way this is done is wrong and I think everybody knows it. We need to change.
2011-05-30 Alice Australia Please end the cruelty and help the farmers with alternatives.

2011-05-30 Judith Tong Australia I am greatly disturbed after watching the live cattle export coverage on ABC news tonight. I and the vast majority of Australians are against such a practice. Income is no excuse to allow it. It is fundamentally inhumane and against what Australians stand for.
2011-05-30 Hannah Australia There is no words to describe the horror and disgust that I feel.
2011-05-30 Vanessa McGrath Australia The live export of animals is to be stopped. It is to upsetting for words. No one can condone this cruelty. The pain they must go through..

2011-05-01 Sue Rice England ,U K Please stop exporting these defenceless creatures to barbaric and downright cruel situations.We live in so called civilised societies so we must take responsibility for any animals,pets or farm animal!They are so helpless and vulnerable.

2011-04-19 Jessica Lawrence Australia I have seen evidence of what happens to animals when they arrive at other countries. Countries do not have the same rules and regulations as they do in Australia and so animals we send especially to third world countries are abbused and mistreated before they are slaughtered or during slaughter. It is disgusting! Something needs to change!
2011-04-16 Amanda Critchley Australia Putting animals to this kind of cruelty and stress does not make sense, both in a humane way and the quality of meat. When animals get stressed they release toxins onto their muscles which is harmful to those who eat it! Think about how the beast is killed nest time you scoff down a steak.
2011-03-26 Louise Cuming Australia It is time the Australian Government accepted that they have to a degree a duty of care for every animal that is exported live and clearly you have failed. It is one of the cruelest industries Australia has and it is about time the almighty dollar, even if for the farmers is not put before the welfare of our livestock. Slaughering the livestock here and exporting frozen meat is an ethical and humane solution. 79% of Australians don't want live export yet the Government continues to allow this brutal trade. Remember people in Government work for the Public.
2011-03-23 Veronica Australia Also ban barbaric slaughter of animals hiding behind religious beliefs Jewish in particular & Islam. Australia wake up and make the tough law NOW. Symbolism using cruelty amounts to witchcraft and devil sorship. Ignorant unfeeling monsters. By yelling Allah or God you think it makes it alright. What a croc.
2011-03-17 Sadie Dempsey England Animals are God's creatures too. Their lives should end as humanely as possible at the nearest abattoir.
2011-03-06 Kathy Anderson Australia As an Australian I am ashamed and disgusted that this is allowed to happen. This is nothing short of animal cruelty at its worst. Live export of Australian livestock must be banned immediately !!

2010-12-10 Josephine Austin Britain Unbe-flaming-lievable. Are you a civilised country or are you just interested in money however it can be gained? How can your farmers bear to breed and raise these animals just to be transported in the most appalling conditions and then be slaughtered in a way that is illegal in Australia? Can you even imagine the terror and agony this must cause them? I am almost beyond words.... but not quite. Get this STOPPED, NOW.
2010-12-10 Jo Austin England Dear Senate, I am disgusted that you have resumed this appalling practice. Shame on you all. I and everybody I have spoken to about this has agreed to boycott all Australian products and a colleague has cancelled her impending holiday to your country as she is so upset. After the media coverage of the recent shark attacks in Egypt it is now common knowledge that carcasses from your exports were being thrown overboard and we all know what you are doing. The conditions these poor animals are transported in are beyond belief. You should be ashamed of yourselves but I don't imagine you have any conscience and don't care one little bit as long as you are all filling your wallets. Get it stopped, now, or face the backlash, and there will be one.

2010-12-04 Amanda Parker UK (formerly Australia) The export of Australian livestock to countries such as Kuwait is patently inhumane. We should all be objecting to this practice - it's not a matter of small-minded personal politics but a matter of basic human decency. Please consider implementing a ban on this trade as soon as possible.
2010-12-04 Lyndel Thomas Australia I am horrified at what is happening to our animals. It is bad enough that they have to suffer a long journey just to be killed, but must they suffer the cruel treatment that they receive on their arrival. I am disgusted and I will do anything it takes to help to end this disgusting and barbaric situation!!!

2009-10-29 jennifer asplin australia (I am asking you to stop the export of live animals. I realise there is an export market for Australia, and therefore there would probably be a financial loss incurred, but I think it is immoral to send animals into cultures where they are inhumanely treated. Also the stress of shipping these animals from Australia must have a significant impact on them. I am embarrassed to think that we, as a country, continue to allow animals to suffer just to make money, and to appease 'cultural and religious practices' which I personally find abhorent. It is hopefully illegal to slaughter animals in Australia in this fashion, although it probably does happen, and this also should be stopped. Once again, I ask that this inhumane practice be stopped. Thank you for your consideration.

2007-12-05 Robin Chapple Australia Live cattle and sheep transport and export has been exposed repeatedly as involving cruel practices, producing high mortality rates. It is particularly problematic when animals are exported to areas with lesser animal welfare legislation than Australia. In 2005 over 35,000 sheep and 700 cattle died in transit. (www.pacat.org.au) Live export is also not in Australia’s best finacial interest. A report in 2000 by agricultural economists Dr Heilbron and Terry Larkin found that the live sheep export industry directly competes in the Middle East market with Australian chilled or frozen sheep meat industry products. The report also concludes that, if the sheep and cattle currently exported were instead processed in Australia, a further approximately $1.5 billion would be added to Australia’s gross domestic product, there would be around $250 million more in household income and around 10,500 full-]time jobs would be created. I would like to see the strengthening of national animal welfare legislation that prohibits cruelty and ensures the welfare of agricultural animals and end the live export of animals for slaughter overseas. The live export ban sould not extend to animals such as camels, horses and bulls for live use as long as conditions are maintained at the current high standard.

2007-12-02 Penny Johnson Australi Are Australian rabbits exported to China or not? Someone said the Chinese skinned them alive. This is so cruel. Also cutting animals throats four times, stabbing their eyeballs and cutting their tendons. The slaughterhouse workers are so cruel they stab the poor animal in the eye, and after its throat is cut, they cut the underside of its tail! The footage she smuggled out of Bassatin had international repercussions. It was major news in Egypt and Australia, prompted a flurry of diplomatic meetings between the two countries, and led to the suspension of live exports while the federal government figured out a compromise that would satisfy the powerful trade lobby, farmers, and a concerned public. Their key solution was two Memoranda of Understanding, in which Egypt agreed to treat Australian animals humanely, in accordance with international standards. After they were signed, trade resumed in October last year. Seven days later, a shipload of 40,000 sheep were sent to Egypt. White was there to meet them. Even though the government website states that "initial shipments to Egypt will be closely monitored for compliance with the MoUs", she says she was the only Australian there. Some of the sheep went to abattoirs; many others went to market-places, and were sold to locals for the religious festival Eid-al-Adha. White filmed struggling sheep being stuffed into the boots of cars or tied onto roof racks. She tailed cars, followed buyers down dark alleys, and watched sheep being dragged up stairs by the legs, before getting their throats cut in filthy communal toilets. Her footage proves, she says, that the MoUs are worthless. "Nothing has changed. The MoU has no legal standing. There are no animal protection laws in Egypt, no way of enforcing the MoU, and no penalties. It was just an agreement to get the animals back in there."

2007-11-14 Carolyn Tonahill USA I respectfully urge you to immediately ban the live export of Australian livestock. During transport, the animals suffer greatly and a great many die. Those who do survive the ordeal of the trip are met with unspeakable cruelty and the slaughter practices in place are archaic and barbaric.

It made me feel ill and ashamed watching them hot, thirsty, legs tied together left on the ground. Kicked to make them move. Dragged by the back leg to where ever they were taking them. Put in car boots. Pushed off a truck, dragged again. Thrown around around like rubbish. They do have feelings, before the horror of them being slaughtered. I ask you to please STOP this. Inhumane. Thank you.

2007-11-10 Gail Costic United States To export live animals out of Australian does not relieve you of responsibility nor does it wash the blood of innocent animals off your hands. As long as this practice is continued then it nullifies what you are trying to accomplish with your own laws that makes what happens to these precious innocent animals illegal. To truly implement your own laws protecting these animals, then it is imperative that you stop the export of live animals.

2007-10-13 Kathleen Nye Australia Australia is a nation of shame. Politicians, intent on obtaining profits for a few, are an ignominious blot on this country. In 2005, processed meat to Muslim countries totalled some $5.9 billion whilst live animal exports totalled less that $1 billion. Muslims do eat meat processed from our Halal abattoirs in Australia. The leaders of this nation are immoral and unethical in their greedy pursuits for profits, where they support the most heinous torture of sentient creatures. Thank you Minister McGauran and where is the voice of the opposition on the heinous cruelty and slaughter of our animals?? Rock apes!!

Upon arrival, they suffer extreme cruelty and barbarism prior to and during slaughter (these practices are illegal in Australia). This is cruel and inhumane. "Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages." -Thomas A. Edison "The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality." -Arthur Shopenhauer

2006-09-01 Dianne Arton Australia There is no moral basis for live export. We can humanely slaughter animals on our own shore in line with other countries expectations eg. halal. So why do we continue to claim to care more about foeta humans than all living beings?
2006-09-01 DR Nik Taylor Australia All animals have an intrinsic right to be treated with respect. The barbarism of live exports contravenes this right and many others and must be stopped.

2006-06-04 helen hobson australia my parents own a properity and sell cattle to the meat industry, however i beleive that selling the best being alive is completly unnessary and cruel to have an animal travel the long distance to be slaughtered in a different country when you can still deliver the same product if the animal is slaughtered in australia. not only are the animals traveling the distance alot of the time they die before they get to there destination due to the employees torturing the animals, the animals themsleves standing on top of them or the disease which is spread easier due to the un-hygenic conditions and the animals being in tight compartments. thank-you for reading my comment and thoughts on this topic regards helen hobson
2006-05-31 Andrew Petersen Australia Australia is currently experiencing a severe cattle shortage which has led to the closing down of several abbatoirs. If we stop exporting our livestock we can slaughter it here.
2006-05-29 andrew mountford UK After seeing a video of a cows and sheep which had been exported from Australia being slaughtered in a Ciaro abattoir filled me with revulsion and anger. As a producer of meat you should provide your animals, as a minimum a good life and a humane good death. PLEASE end you live exports of animals to countries which are unable to provide this.

2006-04-25 Kathy Rector USA Put yourselves in the place of these animals and then see if you'd like to be on the receiving end of the torture and slaughter that they unwillingly and unknowingly have to endure at the hands of human beings, the same human beings who are supposed to be their caretakers! Sometimes it makes me ashamed to be human because of the atrocities that we (our species) do to other species and the destruction of our planet. The human being is THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE SPECIES of any on the planet Earth. We alone have caused the most number of any species of plants or animals to go extinct than any other. And this happens every second, every minute, every day. WE have contributed to and caused Global Warming. WE have DESTROYED MORE NATURAL HABITAT than any other species, making it harder for other species to survive in the wild. And this causes so many species to encroach upon "our" towns, villages, and lands, when in fact, it is US who are doing the trespassing upon THEIR lands. And what do we do when these poor animals come looking for food to survive? Kill them because they're hungry. They simply don't have any more habitat or hunting grounds because WE'VE taken it away for farming, neighborhoods, towns, logging, etc. This has GOT TO STOP! We need to find a way to co-exist with animals and plants somehow, and not continue in the present methods. It is barbaric and cruel, and causes the animals enormous pain. Have you no feelings at all? What if it were you in those cages? It could be, someday. Maybe then, you'd be begging for someone to end your suffering. And do you think that anyone would care enough to plead your case, much less answer? Think about it. Think very hard about it. Because the future of our Earth depends on what you do NOW, for WE are the caretakers of our planet, and what we do to the Earth impacts the generations to come. If we screw it up, the results sometimes don't show for many years to come. Indicator species (frogs, birds, etc.) are already telling us that we've done too much damage to the Earth and we need to correct it NOW. So stop what you're doing with the livestock and find a new way to handle the situation. PLEASE!!!! The Tazmanian Tiger is already extinct, and the Dingo is endangered. The Tazmanian Devil is located only on Tazmania, after being eradicated from Australia. What other Australian species do you want to lose?

2006-04-24 Diana Hartig Germany The EU has recently, and after years of petitioning, cut the financial support for live exports of animals destined for slaughter. As positive as this is, it means that this practice will relocate more and more to and via countries that still allow and back it - i.e. where it is still profitable. I appeal to the Australian Government to not continue to support such live exports from its own country. You keep an atrocity alive who's time has come. You may think that what happens to these animals once they have left Australian soil and the protection of Australian animal welfare legislation is not your concern. But it is ! Like everyone who eats meat is guilty of the murder committed in his name, you are guilty of the unspeakable suffering that is visited upon these creatures on their way to a cruel end. Please ban live exports !

2006-03-02 Carol Chenco Australia I have viewed video footage of the barbaric treatment of animals about to be slattered in Middle Eastern countries. I felt ashamed, nauseous and had difficulty holding back the tears. Especially when there is a viable alternative to sell livestock in these countries, this practise should be outlawed immediately.
2006-03-02 Kaylene Fuller Australia The extreme cruelty that these animals suffer is not allowed here so why send out animals overseas to suffer so inhumanely - The exporting must stop
2006-03-02 Leanne Kavanagh Australia How can the farmers or government allow this happen.Maybe they need to be treated in a deplorable manner before they sit up and take note.
2006-03-02 Sonia Broi Australia It's sad to see that humans have deteriorated to this extent,where profit is the only thing we are interested in even if it means condoning the torture of innocent animals. Do the right thing for a change and find an alternative to this barbaric trade.

2006-03-02 Nathan Chenco Australia I am extremely shocked at these inhumane acts by the people of the middle east. I cannot begin to understand how these people could peform such horrific acts on these defenceless animals. Something must be done on a world wide basis. The problem is even if the Government does stop the export of Australian livestock these acts will still continue ovesees with other livestock.

2006-03-02 Kylie Henke Australia I simply wish for my opinion to be counted. There is never a justification for the senseless brutality and cruelty inflicted on animals whether they be Australian or any other nationality.
2006-03-01 Karen Dennis-Smither England I am not really surprised to learn how the animals suffer. The human race can be the cruellest species to its own kind so what it does to other species should not be new knowledge. People who supposedly care for animals should insist on them being slaughtered nearest their source. If you can't guarantee humane treatment when animals leave your care, you shouldn't be entitled to have them in the first place. All our animals only ever leave our property when they are dead or in the case of farm livestock they are sent to the nearest abbatoir, transported by local, well-known people. If all the animals that are suffering in the world were able to make us hear, the sound echoing around the globe would be deafening. Animals really do suffer in silence. enter comments here)

2006-02-28 Jenny Landolt Australia I thought I lived in a country where all citizens were treated equally and fairly, with compassion and rights. Why is this not extended to our animal friends?? They too feel pain and suffering don't they?

2006-02-27 karen chambers australia I'm appalled that in this day and age, as a supposedly civilised nation, we continue with this barbarous trade of live animals. Our government needs to develope some backbone and start dictating the terms. Compassion is not a dirty word, our animals deserve some!
2006-02-27 Tim and Suzanne Boutsis Australia (enter comments here)The export of live animals is inhumane and cruel. Surely, an alternative would be to have the animals slaughtered in Australia and the frozen, packaged meat exported. AUSTRALIA MUST TAKE AN ETHICAL STAND AGAINST THIS DEPRAVED TRADE. We should not accept animal treatment standards that do not conform to RSPCA guidelines. Please exert your political influence to stop Australia's involvement!

2006-02-25 Anne-Marie Dawson Australia I live near where live animals are brought by road to await live export from Brisbane port. The sounds comming from these helpless animals is dreadful! It is distressing to hear and see their scared cries and eyes. They have travelled many hours, in unbearable conditions, heat, dust, squashed on top of each other, no air, water, bumped and imjured and can sense the danger ahead of them. You only need to see this once in your life to know this is the truth. If we as humans, with beating hearts like these animals, and with the power to stop this barbarack practice, we have a duty to help them. They are born in our country, Australia, and are our responsibility! Do not send them to their death in an inhumane and cruel manner witch is ILLEGAL in Australia. You, as members of our Senate, who are put there by us to give us voices must listen, repeat and honour reasonable requests now. It is 2006 and we must stop these practices - STOP LIVE- EXPORT OF ANIMALS. And while I have your attention - STOP, IMMEDIATELY, ALL WHALE KILLING. As voter and tax payer I expect to be heard, paid attention to, and courtisely replied to, as is my right as a human being (read Basic Human Rights) and (mostly) proud Australian, who is also your employer, and expects all employees to act as instructed. Thank you. Anne-Marie Dawson, 29 Bolan Street, Balmoral, Brisbane 4171, Queensland.
2006-02-25 Kimberly Fung Hong Kong It is simply very selfish and not ethical at all for some people to let animals suffer from pains,hungers, uncomfortable, etc, just because they believe the taste of the meat will be fresher if animals are import ALIVE. Same for a lot of Japanese people, who like to put boiling oil on jumping fish, and then eat these fish alive due to fresher tastes; or cut sharks' fin, and then dump these bleeding sharks back into the sea. How can these people build their enjoyments on other creatures' great painful? Think of what will they feel if they were these animals? Simply selfish souls!

2006-02-25 Paul Tapp Australia (enter comments here)We are a western civilisation with an abiding respect for our animals, even with stringent slaughterhouse measjures to minimise their fear and suffering. Why should we turn our eyes to the east when it comes to sheep? The cruel, inhumane and disgusting way in which we treat our exported sheep, detracts from our standing and humaneness, as individuals and collectively as a humane race. Please push this matter into a conscience vote in our federal parliament.Abort the practise of live sheep exports!
2006-02-24 Tracy Schwalger Australia We have all seen what happened with the sheep, and i was physically sick when i saw on the news what happens with the cows, this should be stopped.

2006-02-22 jeannette lyon australia God gave us authority over animal kingdom, He blessed them and Adam named them. He certainly did not give us authority to bully, torture, disrespect His creation. Greed has taken over and farm animals are at man's mercy. How would you like to be a sheep for awhile and go through all the miseries they go through? I bet you would change your mind pretty quickly.

Everyone pass this petition onto your family and friends - lets get these votes up.
2006-02-19 Kristina Australia I'm not normally one to sign petitions, but a 10 second ad for next Sunday's "60 Minutes" program (channel 9 for the Victorians) featuring a story on the cruel and totally unnecessary pre-slaughter practices in some countries that receive live export Australian cattle, has left me in tears.
