i received this email recently and it hit a nerve with me.
and not just because i am a new zealander.
You can help to end the cruelty of live sheep export from Australia to the Middle East and stop the needless deaths of tens of thousands of animals a year en route.
During their transport by land and sea, sheep are generally confined in poorly lit, cramped conditions.
They are at risk of injury, heat stress and disease.
Many starve due to stress or because they fail to recognise unfamiliar pellets as food. The sheep that do reach the Middle East are often exposed to appalling handling and slaughter techniques that would neither be legal nor tolerated in Australia.
But worst of all, this suffering is completely unnecessary, as alternatives do exist. Visit Humane Chain to bring an end to this intolerable cruelty by joining the Humane Chain that’s spreading across Australia. . No animal deserves to suffer the ordeal of live export.
at the site, they have a quick letter writer thing that is very easy to use.
just click click click, print OR email it to your MP.
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaaa baaaa!
