    Default Motion by Sen Bartlett to reverse motion to reintroduce Live Animal Export - S Arabia

    From Animal Lib NSW: (Australia)
    ACTION - LIVE EXPORT TRADE

    On Wednesday next week 5/10/05, Democrats Senator Andrew Bartlett
    will move a motion in the Senate seeking to reverse the recent
    reintroduction of the live export trade to Saudi Arabia.

    Whilst there is little chance of the motion succeeding, it is
    important for there to be a debate on this issue and for the
    positions of each party and Senator to be on the record.

    Past public actions, such as a petition expressing concern about
    the trade signed by over 100 000 Australians, have shown that
    there is widespread opposition to the continued operation and
    expansion of live animal exports.

    Please do what you can before Wednesday afternoon, Oct 5th, to
    make your views known to Senators of the other parties.

    If you require further information about the motion, you can
    contact me at the details listed below.

    Adviser to Senator Lyn Allison
    Leader of the Australian Democrats

    Hi All,

    Can you please each call one of the following senators within
    the next few days to urge them to reconsider the resumption of
    the Live Export trade to Saudi Arabia on the following grounds:
    Sheep will go experience extreme heat stress as they are
    subjected to degrees ranging from 30 to sometimes 50 degrees
    celcius coming into the middle of summer.

    After such a long time on the oceans they will experience eye
    infections and a substantial degree of blindness resulting from
    the mixture of dry feed dust and salt in the air

    They will be subjected to brutal handling at the end of their
    journey as seen in 60minutes footage 2 years ago.

    No amount of training or education that they say they have put
    into animal handlers in the middle east will be able to prevent
    the fact that the sheep will be killed whilst fully conscious and
    are obvious to their fellows pain and suffering.

    Some will not be able to walk and will be left behind to be
    trampled on.

    Some will be sick on the boat and be thrown into the mincer
    sometimes whilst still conscious.

    The live export trade is not sustainable and we must put all our
    efforts into stopping the brutality that is involved in it.

    Please spare a minute and make the call - we need to get this
    topic back into the political arena and show that we are not
    happy with a resumption of the Saudi Trade - nor live exports in
    general

    Emails are good, but it'd be great if you put in a couple of phone
    calls as well if possible.

    Here is a list that might help: Senator Ian Macdonald, Senator
    Ron Boswell, Senator George Brandis, Senator Ian Campbell,
    Senator Kim Carr, Senator Anthony Albanese, Senator Chris
    Ellison, Senator Steve Fielding, Senator Jan McLucas, Senator
    Ursula Stephens.

    You can find their contact details here:

    Thanks for your support.

    Post URGENT UPDATE: LIVE EXPORT TRADE - Further contact information

    *URGENT UPDATE - ACTION - LIVE EXPORT TRADE* Further Detailed Contact Information - Senators & PETITION


    Dear Friends,

    I just wished to update my last post on this topic. Next week, 4th october 05 (USA time) or 5/10/05 (*Au time), Australian Queensland Democrat Senator Andrew Bartlett: Senator.Bartlett@aph.gov.au will move a motion in the Senate seeking to reverse the recent reintroduction of the live export trade to Saudi Arabia.

    Whilst sadly there is little chance of the motion succeeding, it is important for there to be a debate on this issue and for the positions of each party and Senator to be on the record.

    Past public actions, such as a petition expressing concern about the trade signed by over 100 000 + Australians and widespread international concern have shown that there is widespread opposition to the continued operation and expansion of live animal exports.

    Please do what you can *before* Oct 4th (USA) or 5th Oct (AU), to make your views known to Senators of the other parties ( Australian Liberal Party - Senators contact details http://www.liberal.org.au/default.cfm?action=2&page=2 & Australian Labour Party contact details http://www.alp.org.au/people/index.p...ate=&keywords= )

    If you require further information about the motion, you can contact Averil Bones Australian Democrats at the details listed below.

    Averil.Bones@aph.gov.au

    Can you please each call one or more of the following Australian Senators within the next few days to *urge them to reconsider* the resumption of the Live Export trade to Saudi Arabia on the following grounds: Please change the wording if emailing Senators.

    Sample email/Letter:

    Dear Senator ________

    I urge you to please reconsider the resumption of the Live Export Trade Trade to Saudi Arabia of the following reasons:

    The animals will experience extreme heat stress as they are subjected to degrees ranging from 30 to sometimes 50 degrees
    celcius coming into the middle of summer.

    After such a long time on the oceans they will experience eye infections and a substantial degree of blindness resulting from the mixture of dry feed dust and salt in the air. They will be subjected to brutal handling at the end of their journey as seen in "60 minutes" footage 2 years ago.

    No amount of training or education that they say they have put into animal handlers in the Middle East will be able to prevent
    the fact that the sheep will be killed whilst fully conscious in front of other animals and which causes great terror. This will cause great pain and suffering.

    Some will not be able to walk and will be left behind to be trampled to death.

    Some will be sick on the boat and be thrown into the mincer sometimes whilst still conscious.

    The live export trade is not sustainable and cruel and we must put all our efforts into stopping the brutality that is involved in it.


    Yours sincerely
