RT @Barnaby_Joyce This article leads the public to wonder why these guys are so confident? Barnaby, can you shed any light on why they seem so unconcerned? #banliveexport A WA-based exporter accused of a series of animal welfare breaches is pushing ahead with controversial plans to reopen markets in Bahrain, Iran and Egypt despite calls for a ban on the firms operations. Livestock Shipping Services managing director Ahmad Ghosheh said the companys owners in the Middle East were encouraged by Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyces strong support for the industry despite the release of images showing the mistreatment of Australian sheep in Jordan. Mr Ghosheh said only some of the Australian sheep filmed being dragged by one leg, tormented by children, bundled into car boots and having their throats cut in the street were from LSS shipments to Jordan. He said HGG was weeks away from finishing construction of an abattoir in Libya to process Australian sheep and had plans to open two other abattoirs in Gulf countries. au.news.yahoo/thewest/countryman/a/19628724/wa-exporter-defies-ban-calls/
