Yiu are rocking for the animals - there is no excuse for this cruelty. Thank you for the message in song - may it go global ! Yours for the animals - someone who is proud to be vegie having no part of this vile business ! Am sharing - sharing - sharing and posting this video !
Thank you so much guys for the support. I am but one, but I am doing what I can. May I suggest you release this song as a single so we can buy it through Animals Australia and the money be used toward Australia's campaign to stop this brutal inhumanity.
It really isnt right black spurs say it how it is . This treatment is so barbaric dont any of them have a concience of what there doing . As for our government GOD I hope it stops ASAP !
THANKS Black Spurs, for seeing, feeling, speaking (and singing) up for the innocent voiceless! Especially good to see guys in big hats playing country rock breaking the stereotype I had about guys in big hats playing country rock:) Spot on accurate lyrics and hot rock'n music!
The Black Spurs were at the rally in Sydney today. Thanks for the support guys. Live Export is plain cruel. Animals get packed into outdated ships, catch diseases, heat stroke, thrown overboard if they die. In the importing countries their throats are slit while alive, they're stuffed in trucks in 45 degree heat, stuffed in car boots, beaten, hung by the feet, throats are slit while alive, they're not stunned. The countries either have no laws, they don't enforce the laws. BAN LIVE EXPORT. NOW.
Its not over till it's Over. Media frenzy has died down but it's Not Over. Be conscientious, be aware, be proactive, and one day, things will change, through the efforts of a few and the support of many ...
Fantastic song, awesome band - great musicians. I am sure you will get comments by the live export supporters who will get on the old farmer bashing wagon, but this is about what is RIGHT and wrong, and from ANY angle, Live Export - AIN'T RIGHT! Cruel, stressful, barbaric...sending MILLIONS of animals to 3rd world countries with NO Animal Welfare Laws, all for a profit. This industry sells Australias soul. There is NO compassion in it. BAN LIVE EXPORT!
Great lyrics, catchy song. Black Spurs are my new fav band, thank you for writing and producing a song that sums up perfectly how unacceptable the cruelty of live export is. You guys are champions
The live export industry is barbaric and disgusting. Frankly, I'm tired of the whining and "the sky is falling!" half-truths by all those involved. And to those who persist in claiming that this time...miraculously, and totally unsupported by past evidence...animal welfare is going to improve in Indonesia or in any of those other countries where the abuse of our animals has to be seen to be believed? I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.... BAN LIVE EXPORT!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ethical treatment can at least be assured for the slaughterhouses under Australian control, shutting down the industry is foolish as it has crippled the top end. The aproach made by so called 'animal liberation groups' and 'the back spurs' has imediately ripped away the ability of good people in the top end to put food on the table. Australian people have worked hard to build processing facilities in indonesia which are world class, why punish the people doing the right thing?
@tjkioma Indonesia is ceasing imports of our cattle anyway, this Industry in the top end had a one country dependency and has left itself open to these ramifications. The cruelty is NOT ACCEPTABLE. This is a business and if we had the systematic cruelty happening on our shores, those abattoirs etc would be CLOSED DOWN NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Cut the romantic bullsh*t about top end farming and deal with the truth, live export trades on cruelty. It has to go. Australians DONT want it!
Thank you so much for this song! Australia's live export industry is disgusting cruel; it has been allowed to continue for 30 years with NO improvements to animal welfare standards. We want to ban live exports to all importing countries (not just Indonesia). These animals endure appalling standards on the boat ride and our regulations are not enforceable once these animals live our shores. We should be looking to neighbouring NZ on how to export chilled meat.. Animals should be treated ethically
Once these animals leave our shores we have no say in their treatment. Too many animals have endured too much for too many years. Thank you guys for taking a stand and helping get the word out there. Ban Live Export.
Congratulations for being humanitarians and supporting Ban Live Export, **Black Spurs!!** It will be a privilege to buy your songs... Heartfelt thanks to you for using your talent to help the animals by promoting awareness on their behalf..♥♥♥♥

Thats rubbish, thankfully the majority of Australians realise there is more to live export than Animals Australia care to admit. Although the majority see that the MLA hasn't acomplished an adequate change in Indo etc they see its obvious that rushing in like fools and closing down live export will have less benefit for animal welfare outcomes. Thankfully the majority of Australians also support thier fellow man and have faith that we can improve the treatment of slaughter animals in Indo.

And I KNOW that you are wrong.
I watched a lot of rodeo videos. If you don't believe what I say, I can send you a lot of you tube videos about rodeos.
Calves are often seriously injured at rodeo shows.
