AUSTRALIA PLEASE WRITE TO COMPLAIN...or send email with video attached 25 July 2014 ... Visa mer PLEASE WRITE TO COMPLAIN...THANKS or send email with video attached 25 July 2014 The Hon. Tony Abbott, MP Prime Minister of Australia Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Prime Minister, Australian Live Animal Export Trade: Gaza Evidence I am writing to you because I am so profoundly disturbed by the recent footage from the Gaza Strip showing horrific cruelty to Australian cattle. I have always thought that Australia cared for its animals and set a good example for animal welfare. It is clear from recent reports to come from Australian media about the Australian live animal export trade, that this is false. Australia is voluntarily supplying its animals to countries where there are no laws to protect them. Worse still, the cruelty in Gaza is not the first of its kind that we have heard of. It is inconceivable that a country such as Australia would continue to export animals despite horrendous cruelty being documented to them in countries such as Egypt, Indonesia, Kuwait, Jordan and Palestine. I am appalled that Australia is still sending its animals to such places, all countries without effective animal protection laws, and still using the age-old excuse that if it pulls out of the market, then the animal welfare standards will deteriorate. Australia is not setting a global example of good animal welfare. It is encouraging and endorsing cruelty. That is how the world views Australia’s position in this market. This trade is negatively effecting how Australia is viewed internationally. As the Prime Minister of Australia, you have the power to stop this unacceptable cruelty ever happening again. I implore you to do this and I am appealing to your good conscience to do so. Yours faithfully,
