Animals Australia do wonderful work in highlighting these barbaric practices. Some of the videos they've acquired of maltreatment of the poor animals ... Makes 'If Slaughterhouses Had Glass Walls' look positively tame - and that's saying something.
A disproportionate number of slaughterhouse workers in the West are Muslim, who recite the halal prayer before slitting the animal's throat. (Under Western law the animal is supposed to be stunned beforehand, though it makes you wonder...) so I fail to see the reason for live export.
Governments and the farmers know what they are party to, but money talks, and when money talks over morals, then the rot has really set in.
Utterly shameful.

It is our deeds, the accumulated acts of goodness and kindness that define us and ultimately are the true measure of our worth. Service is the coin of the spirit.
