The activist types don't care (just want to destroy society) and vego/vegans bleeding heart types basically see animals as deity's. Pretty hard to reason with people like that and will never be content with anything the government does.

You are half correct. Yes, most of us have a degree of care and compassion for our animals. But we can agree to disagree on the sanitary standards of Australia's ships as opposed to our competitors overseas. You think it's bad now? then you'd hate to see the appalling standards of the live export ships from our competing industries overseas. Look up 'The Livestock Collective' on Instagram, or Facebook, and watch a few of their videos taken on the ships in 2024. Then compare that to the footage dating as far back as 2017 that activists are still using to promote their pitiful excuse of a campaign. And if you're still stubborn after doing so, go to Fremantle and physically get on the ship to see for yourself. I am PROUD to be part of the Australian sheep industry, and no keyboard warrior who's never stepped foot on a sheep farm or live export ship is going to change that.

The farmers don’t crowd the sheep on the boats. A different set of people have responsibility for shipping live animals.

I do seem that way, don't I? 😉 You've got it 100% spot on mate. And I agree with your points. Believe me, we've been part of the fight against this agenda for years and have been supporting our counterparts overseas. Unfortunately, due to being under pressure to get the video out, be as factual as possible, and keep my cool when I was recording, it slipped my mind. Hence why I stated in the description that this video was merely scratching the surface of the issue. If this video does well, and more people ask for it, I'll consider doing a follow-up video filling in the blanks.

@@tjmfarming9584 The farmers need to run a campaign letting the dim witted city folks understand. No Farmers = No Food. What the minister has stated he want to do is unlikely to be carried through because it is unlikely the same mob will still be in and the next government will not follow through with it. Note well. The governments are running a fear campaign in everything. Pitting groups against one another in an effort to Divide and Conque, so people are fighting each other rather then the people causing the problems. They want people angry, because people make mistakes and keeps them off balance when they are angry. They point at the people being angry as the problem, which is why you must keep your cool. The governments are acting exactly like a Narcissist = sociopath. Lying, gaslighting, triangulation, controlling. You are angry for good reason. They feed off your anger, get a buzz out of making people angry. Don't give them what they want. Politicians lie. look at what they do, not what they say. Until you see some action taking place, take it as, it will not happen. He may have made the announcement to see what the re4action would be.

Well, about that... I can't say much right now because it's pretty tight-zipped in farming circles. but there will be a campaign, a HUGE one at that, very soon.

Really? Well funny thing is no one has bought it yet, it's still sitting outside my garage!

Nope. This was when Dad was contract-seeding with our tractor at the farm he part-time works for

Thank you!

Yeah but you’re a cropping operation Sam, and don’t need to have fences cos no sheep

Thanks Sparky, we’ve put it out, thanks to the legendary volunteers that came and helped fight it. Tho we’re not quite out the woods yet. More storms forecast and a lot of damage left behind for us to clean up… it’s not ideal, but at least everyone is safe

Yeah, suppose that would’ve helped 😂 we’re still new to this sand-country Thanks for watching!

I appreciate that! Thank you

Me too

That’s actually a good Idea! Cheers!

@@tjmfarming9584 Trust TJM, been a farmer for many years and every bull I know has been called Cesar

Will certainly keep an eye out! Cheers for the comment
