The #Keepthesheep movement is taking off. They try to cut us down, but we'll come back stronger. Go get behind ‎@jack_out_the_back and ‎@brookdalefarm7986 who have also done well thought out and informative videos covering the Export phase-out.
the inner-city activists can argue that it's "cruel" until the cows come home. but the brutal reality is that politicians should never mess with the livelihoods of hard-working, true blue Western Australians in our regional areas.
if our trade goes, so will the farmer's right to farm, our food security, the death of our country towns, and the condemning of 10s of millions of sheep to a fate far worse than ours have experienced on the boat. Live exports aren't perfect, and yes, once upon a time, it was very inhumane. However, it takes an industry that's been running for the majority of WA's history to bend over backwards and make our welfare standards the best in the world.
