Australia to phase out live sheep trade by 2028
The first live sheep export was in 1845, Mauritius and Singapore were the first to accept our sheep.
We export to at least 17 countries including Vietnam, Israel, Qatar, Lebanon, China, Turkey and Russia, to name a few.
Personally I feel pleased that the live sheep export trade will come to an end.
Imagine being a sheep on a ship ladened with up to 85,000 other sheep. Being loaded onto the ship at the height of summer, a 3 - 4 week trip with no respite.
When the ships are being loaded, Fremantle bears the brunt of the odours, for as long as it takes to load the shipment. Unpleasant yes, what would the sheep say if they could talk to humans?
