Sheep export demo Port Adelaide 2 sept 11

THE almost 67,000 sheep being reloaded onto a ship at Port Adelaide should be processed in Australia and not exported alive to Kuwait.

Greens Senator Lee Rhiannon has congratulated animal welfare activists who have gathered near the berth at Port Adelaide to protest the loading of these sheep onto MV Al Shuwaikh today.

The animals have been at a quarantine controlled feedlot near Adelaide for more than a week after previously spending about 10 days on board another carrier ship which broke down and was forced to return to port.

The senator says these sheep have already experienced harsh conditions due to bungling and mechanical failure on their first vessel.

"They should not have to endure more suffering on the almost three week journey to the Middle East," Senator Rhiannon said.

"The RSPCA has reported that approximately 300 sheep perished during the 10 days before they were first unloaded.
