Kudos to Animals Australia - proud of the work they are doing to end animal cruelty - this is ‘about justice and doing what is right’

And that is why I'm vegan...there is no humanity about raising sentient beings for food... Wake up people💔

The live export industry should be ended. It continues to ignore the animal’s rights, it is a total inhumane disgrace that if it were to happen in Australia would see jail sentences handed out and companies closed.

It’s almost like the government has been doing nothing for a decade

Horrific and heartless!

Imagine seeing a dog treated like that. It's sickening, but so is all of the livestock industry. Thankyou ABC for showing this and especially to all the activists involved in getting the footage etc.

Those poor sheep. 💔🥲

If you cut all of the live export jobs and create all the domestic butchery and freezing jobs it seems like a win for WA

This makes me sick. Protect yourself!

Shatha Hamade is a legend .. (was hard to discover the spelling of her name here) She is correct in saying that she is performing what should be a Government Role .. All Polly dont care besides money and that "what happens off the Boat stays off the Boat" ... Thanks so much "Animals Australia" for not losing sight of cruelty to "Earthlings"

Ban live export now!

It is an abomination and Australia's shame.

As long as someone’s making money this will continue. And I’m not sure the treatment these animals endure here in Australia is as humane as the industries would like us to think. Dismantle the industry, it’s not good for the poor animals and it’s not good for the planet.

I distinctly remember this being reported as far back at 20 years ago 😮

Simply horrifying to watch

This industry has had it's chances and this latest evidence shows that they cannot be trusted and we here in Australia are unable to stop these barbaric practices, therefore people are now fully justified in demanding that ALL LIVE EXPORTS BE BANNED. We can source alternative markets in the chilled meats trade, so THERE IS NO EXCUSE! Forward this video on to everyone that you know.

If we do crulity to animals what else?

Barbaric act of killing without any regard?

Ban live exports its cruel. It loses jobs here. Thanks Animals Australia

Live animal export is an issue about equipping foreign religious practices. Whilst money is involved, the welfare is being put secondary to a practice that is endemic in a foreign state religion. How are you going to stop that. Whilst politicians and exporters see the coin attached to the practice, with the welfare of animals secondary -- Australians should be wary of 'mission creep' whereby the same tolerance of mistreatment is extended to its people by similar bureaucrats that cant self regulate their moral code.

Disgraceful; quick action required; regulatory structures failing again...

We, the Australian people, can stop this.

I can’t watch it all I can’t stop crying. But I did sign the petition. Poor darlings 🥺💔

If kill animals that are innocent, a symbol that carries on?

So this doesn't look like Australia

the 60 minutes australia whistle blower video was aired years ago. so sad to see there is abuse at so many points in the supply chain.

If you pay enough you. Can do anything 🙄

I suspect their ‘abattoirs’ aren’t much better. Shame there is no film of that.

Very difficult to watch Should have warning or caution ⚠️

Shocking breaks my heart. Those poor sheep. 🥲🥲No animal should die on this. Shame on this brutual live export trade. They are making money from animal cruelty

To view suffering and involved is crulity of non-exist soul. Breeding killing as indifferent! Will to do next!

@6:49 So sad and dark to see all the innocent animals sufferings through a long journey through hell. That is why I stop eating meat and become vegetarian and sometimes vegan whenever I can.

In the name of?

Where's the ear tags pictures 🤔

Keep the sheep

jeez all of you are silly. imagine what this would do to the community and the farmers. All of you are city people if you came out to a real farm and actually saw what happens you would be surprised city slickers. Dont ban live export

Under the umbrella of what is the question?

Good. Report it. Make the industry answer for this. Because it breaches the industries own legal standards. But don’t ban the industry. You’re going to hurt so many people. Most aren’t even farmers.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

The bottom line is that once the animals leave our shores, we have no control over how they are treated. We can ask them do do the right thing, but we can’t enforce it. It’s fine for the government bodies to pass the buck and state that it’s the responsibility of the exporters, but it’s the same story. If it could be stopped by the exporters, it could be stopped by the government but the government cannot guarantee their treatment, and neither can the exporters. It’s disingenuous on the part of the government to even suggest that we can monitor what happens on foreign soil. Every single person involved (and every man in the pub) knows that the only way to stop it to to outright stop live exports in the first place. We keep talking about banning live exports, but talk is cheap.

Show us how the citizen deals with murder and torture by the criminal Assad regime

David Littleproud has little to be proud of in 2023

Call me racist.....

This is happening right here in Australia,but islamic countries are often targeted by ABC..When are humans targeted by goverment for no reason no body wants to hear and they making fun of the people and abuse u .You just have to be resilient and endure ...

If you're bullied. If you're being treated unfairly, let the jungle burn.😅

This "sacrifice" ritual has nothing to do with Islam and a pagan ritual in origin.

$120m a year loss to WA .. Boo Hoo .. a state with the most millionaires per capita in all of Australia .. Labor is waning with its promises ...

From what I can see they have really improved standards, and some countries seem to have worked really hard to improve their abattoirs but that doesn’t mean that everyone is doing the right thing. The issue is that it is cheaper for those countries to purchase live sheep from us than prepared lamb. If it’s too expensive they will either go to countries which don’t have the same standards for live exports, or they will have to go without which would be awful because those countries don’t have their own agriculture industry so people will go hungry. I think it’s important for people to consider why countries in the Middle East are willing to comply with Australian regulations so they can continue to slaughter the sheep themselves, and I think it has a lot to do with Australia not having the capacity for large scale Halal abattoirs. I do think we have a chance to get a win-win for everyone but I don’t think we’re on track for that at the moment. A lot of farmers in WA are still pushing for it to not get phased out, so I don’t think the federal government has been clear enough that this is happening eventually, and so they aren’t listening to solutions enough and aren’t happy to hear that most farmers will choose to stop farming entirely rather than move away from live exports. I hadn’t previously realised that WA sheep farmers rely so heavily on live exports because they frequently have droughts so can’t keep the sheep for longer, but the abattoirs can’t process all the sheep for export. I think that if Labor wants to phase out live exports they need to be prepared to do it over an extended timeframe, like 2035/2040. They will also need to provide greater investment in meat processing, particularly Halal, and refrigerated shipping. I also think they would need to strengthen regulation and improve infrastructure for internal transport of live animals because I think standards could be higher and because I’m not sure if WA can provide enough capacity in abattoirs and they may need to increase shipping to eastern states or to northern WA for processing. I think regulation of the industry could continue to be improved, maybe by increasing the penalties for exporters if they’re not properly monitoring the full process once sheep come off the boats, including fines and potentially bans from exporting to that country. This also means that countries which are complying with Australian standards can continue and those that don’t will lose out on those that can export live animals to them (even getting to zero if they repeatedly fail to comply with standards). If we really want to fully ban live animal exports, then we will need to push other counties to improve their animal welfare standards for live shipping, or else they will pick up the market that we put down and more animals will suffer. The new, stricter regulations have only been in place for a few years so I don’t think we can say they’ve fully failed, but we do need to put in more work and more investment if we are going to improve animal welfare in the global live export market. I’m not sure if Labor is prepared to do that, as it seems like they’re wanting to push farmers away from live exports instead of look for new potentials for growth. The focus should instead be put on investing in abattoirs (particularly Halal), infrastructure to humanely transport animals to northern WA and NT or the eastern states (ideally by rail), and refrigerated/frozen international shipping. This will provide a lot more local jobs, while ensuring food security for those nations that can’t produce enough food for themselves. There are even opportunities to grow the market and strengthen ties with other countries such as Indonesia which has a huge Muslim population, is very close by, and is on track to have a booming economy and growing middle class over the next few decades.

it’s stupid that they say australia can dictate what happens in a nother country 🤷‍♂️ go to there government and see how far you get !!

This is happening overseas and therefore is NONE of our business. As long as laws were followed when the animals were in Australia then that is all that matters.

Im about justice for Australian farmers ,who shouldn't be held accountable for other nations handling of livestock,, doing your bit to ruin Australian farmers back in your box lady

yes it cruel definitely BUT it’s in a nother country not Australia this would not happen in Australia, She’s very brave doing it But !! Go to there government and protest and see what happens but no SHE DOESNT YOU CAN’T blame australia as australia can’t go to a country like that!! they don’t care !! people they don’t hav the care full animal welfare when they don’t even treat them women fairly 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Not sure if i should watch this😳
