Where was all this fundraising in the last ten odd years to set up an onshore abattoir for the export market?
Farmers are the ones who need to listen to other community members more. There has been a distinct uncomfortable community feeling about the conditions these animals are sent into. Its not a 'small group of noisy activists' as farmers are dismissively stating.
What's stopping sheep farmers banding together and opening onshore abbatoirs if they feel so strongly about keeping an sheep export industry?

Keep the sheep... in Australia, keep the jobs in Australia
They literally want to export all value-add

Thats how it seems to me.
Maybe theres a genuine reason onshore abbatoirs for export haven't got up. If there is, the farmers need to explain why.
You never know, the rest of the community could be in a position to help if communication of a problem like that is better.

Right?? It's so tone deaf. The only people I've seen in support of live exports are farmers... the one group with a vested financial interest in maintaining these exports.
