SPCA Meets Australian Team: Australian Public Outcry on Live Transport of Cattle from Australia that faced Immense Cruelty in Indonesia

SPCA Selangor joins RSPCA Australia in encouraging the humane slaughter of cattle at the nearest points of production, and call for a BAN OF LIVE TRANSPORT in view of the inherent cruelty involved in the transport and slaughter of the cattle overseas.

The immediate Australian public outcry following the public release of Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s footages on 30th May 2011 depicting the brutal fate that awaits live Australian cattle in Indonesian slaughterhouses, resulted in a total suspension of live cattle export to Indonesia via an order signed by Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig on 7th June 2011.

Video footage showed cattle subjected to painful handling techniques. Poking, hitting, kicking and tail twisting were routinely used to move animals, whilst more extreme means-eye gouging, tail bending or breaking and tendon slashing- were used when difficulty arose handling animals. They brought to the fore the horrors behind the scenes in such slaughterhouses. Australians and animal welfare advocates all over the world condemned the cruelty that the cattle faced and demanded that the Australian government halt live exports until steps are in place to ensure that livestock, from Australia in particular, would be more humanely treated and slaughtered.

Mr Bill Farmer (diplomat/ambassador/high commissioner in Australian Foreign Service) was asked by the Australian Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry, to lead an independent review of the Australian live export supply chain to Asia.. SPCA Selangor and PAWS were invited for a meeting on 9th August 2011 to provide feedback on this issue. SPCA Selangor’s Chairman Christine Chin, Dr Lim (Senior Veterinarian), Cunera and Kelvin (Inspectors) met and discussed the issue of live transport of cattle, goats and sheep from Australia to Asia. Discussions held earlier with the Department of Veterinary Services has reportedly been very fruitful. Minor concerns are identified and will be rectified. These mostly involves slaughter of animals outside of abattoirs as far as Malaysia is concerned.
