Here in Australia the Fed...Wow this is interesting. Here in Australia the Federal Govt regularly ignores solid reports of animal cruelty for example in the export of live animals in favour of THAT industry!<BR/><BR/>The Australian govt tries to convince the world that we have good animal welfare laws etc.. but fact is the laws are weak and there is very little enforcement. In some states enforcement of law is performed by a charity who may easily be influenced by industry. In other states the Dept of Agriculture enforces the law- and most of the inspectors are pro farming and are not the least bit interested in welfare..that is if they understand the laws!<BR/><BR/>Australia is a cruel nation especially to sheep, pigs and chickens, cattle and kangaroos.harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107650270869045968noreply@blogger.com
