The protest against the cruel live export of Australian sheep to the Middle East is about to become global.
From June 23, people around the world will be writing to their local Australian Embassy to highlight the suffering inflicted on sheep sent to the Middle East for slaughter.
International condemnation of the live export trade is one of the most powerful ways to tell the Australian Government that the inhumane transport, handling and slaughter of millions of Australian sheep every year is simply not on.
If you have friends overseas who will want to join you in ending this trade, please forward them this email.
They simply need to click on the link below to find all the information they need to lodge their protest and show the Australian Government that the world condemns our live export of sheep.
And if you would like to help closer to home, you can take action in several ways, including downloading a petition to get your friends to stand up for our country's animals.
So I truly hope you can join us in ending live export, which continues to tarnish Australia's otherwise good reputation for animal welfare.
Thank you for helping create a world where animals matter and animal cruelty ends.

An animal has consciousness and sensitivities just like each of us.
And pain is dreadful for those who have no language to make known their depths of pain and suffering.
Stop avoidable pain.

I am at a loss to understand why this cruel trade is still being practised. I believe after a 60 minutes report and public outcry some time ago live exports were ceased pending investigation. What happened with the investigation? I think the government mentioned they would not allow Australian sheep/cattle to be mistreated but how could they possibly guarantee this? Unfortunately for the animals being mistreated it appears live trade continues today. Was the government just waiting for us to forget the headlines, hoping all would blow over. The International community and most Australians see just how cruel this practice is. When will the Australian Government???

My God! Are you kidding me? This is awful. I cannot imagine what suffering these innocent creatures endure. This practice is an unnecessary evil and it needs to be stopped at once. I am appalled at your treatment of animals, Australia! It is a disgrace! Animals are sentient creatures meaning that they feel and perceive pain and stress the very same way that we do. I don't understand how this awful treatment could be allowed. I am at a loss. I believe that the human race can sink no lower. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you Australia. I once upon a time wanted to visit your country, however, now I will not sink so low as to do that. You need to clean up your act, and become civilized. You may appear to be civilized, but you are being exposed. No civilized country allows this to happen to its innocent animal population.
On behalf of the animals.
