    Exclamation Urgent action: Live Animal Export to resume

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


    Dear Friends,

    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
    Adviser to Senator Lyn Allison
    Leader of the Australian Democrats
    011 61+ 2 6277 3169 or 0439 660 039
    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

    Please spare a minute and make the call from within or outside of Australia. Australia needs 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 would be *great* if you put in a couple of phone calls as well if possible. Please check time difference if calling internationally.

    Here are the Australian Senators contact details:

    I'll send an e-mail to all those in the pink list. I won't tell them where I live. They might think that someone from outside of Oz can be ignored.
