Ban Live Animal Export

Each year millions of Australian animals are transported across the world for slaughter.

Sheep sent to the Middle East by sea are crammed into pens holding around three sheep per square metre. They're terrified and will spend up to three weeks on the crowded ship. On the way they will suffer from stress, heat exhaustion and extreme temperatures.

Cattle exported to Indonesia are treated cruelly and are slaughtered in barbaric ways, dying slow agonising deaths at the hands of unskilled meat processors.

Many do not eat, are injured or suffer from disease. Tens of thousands will die on the way each year. Those which survive are regularly transported in car boots in extreme temperatures before being handled and slaughtered in the most barbaric way.

Together we can stop this appalling journey of cruelty. Take action now. Click here.
