AR-News: (AU) This live trade must stop

[Animalconcerns Info]

[opinion from The Age]

Can a sheep be bewildered? And frightened? Presumably it can. In which
case what could be more bewildering for a sheep than to be herded on to a
huge - and it must be said, sinisterly ugly ship - and freighted off to
Saudi Arabia or Iraq in nasty little pens. It is enough to push a chap
into vegetarianism, if only to protect himself from a charge of hypocrisy.

The RSPCA and the Portland protesters are right. This cruel trade should
be stopped. Even the Man of Steel is not unmoved by this trade in living
creatures. He says: "I do share the distress of many people about this and
it worries me, but we have to have a sense of proportion."
