RT Now we have to listen to all the spin and campaigning. #banliveexport Lets never forget who the real victims of live export are. Why is that we dont ever hear how good ESCAS and Australia are by completely independent sources with no ties to the industry? Worth asking the question. THE live export supply chain has made extraordinary improvements to animal welfare, 2013 NAB Agribusiness Rising Beef Champion Blythe Calnan says, although it will be impossible to prevent all abuses. Take the treatment of Australian sheep during Eid al-Adha, the festival of the sacrifice. The festival asks that families sacrifice a sheep and share a third of the carcase to friends and a third to the poor, keeping a third for itself. Traditionally, the slaughter has taken place at home, which is what happened with Australian sheep. There was no control over what happened to those sheep, Ms Calnan said. stockandland.au/news/agriculture/livestock/cattle-beef/escas-works-beef-champion/2676913.aspx
