A Bloody Business

www.abc.net.au

Right now in northern Australia, ships are being readied to load thousands of cattle to be transported to Indonesia where they will be fattened in feedlots and sent to abattoirs for slaughter. Australia sends about 500,000 cattle there each year in a trade worth more than $300 million. Six million cattle have been sent to Indonesia since the trade began two decades ago, supplying a growing demand for beef.

Despite industry assurances that the welfare of cattle sent to Indonesia is "generally good", Four Corners reveals that many thousands of these animals die slow and hideous deaths. Four

The additional link is the video ( story ) ... A Bloody Business - Video <---- Link

This story is not easy to watch for most people, yet would benefit everyone to KNOW and comprehend and understand this issue, with no uncertain terms.

Australia has been dealing with this since 1993 and most people have little or no idea of it. The CONSPIRACY is that ( including ATS / US / EU etc ) virtually the entire Australian Population has been kept "in the dark" about these matters and the Government and some related businesses have known full well.... Some call this business as usual.

Again the video story is NOT easy to watch. Do not think you've seen one seen em all... watch the Whole thing because near the end a very clear impression is made as 5 or so cattle are lined up and they watch as the first is mistreated.. tortured and killed, skinned / butchered in front of the other animals... this continues till the last one is left watching the butchering and the cutting into pieces of his brother or sister while knowing.... this is coming for him... Look closely... Look VERY CLOSE at the fear.. the expression and use the empathy required to understand and comprehend EXACTLY what that animal is feeling and what has REALLY been done already to the animal let alone what it knows and we know, what is going to be done to him.

Again this is NOT an easy story to watch but it is a conspiracy that the world doesn't know these things well. Many will get angry... VERY angry... as a wise man said...

Become angry but never become enraged. Act upon the anger

Deny Ignorance and EXPOSE it as good and well... Help pass this story around the world. These animals have few representing them... But they have us. Maybe.

This thread gave me goosebumps and made my stomach turn. literally flip flopped. I am outraged and sickened and heartbroken all at the same time. I grew up on a farm and love all animals and know the personalities that each animal has and it kills me the way that they are being mistreated! Great thread. More people need to be made aware of this. We have to get it out there. Star for this thread.

Toseekthetruth I agree...

We're planning on sending this story and video link in emails around the world to various connections / friends... Hope many others do likewise. It is not easy to watch this story / video, but a picture / film tells a thousand stories and it is good that these animals have people telling their story.

Fight the Good Fight... every minute, everyday.

So what is the solution?

guessing, did you watch the video? ----> A Bloody Business - Video <---- Link

I understand not everyone has broadband internet or the bandwidth allowance to watch it... dial-up wouldn't help either. But the substance of this story is in the documentary news video / story. I don't think you watched it as you wouldn't have asked such a question or made such a point.... The story doesn't concern feeding hungry people... it's a matter of the process of this particular "Industry" between Australian businesses, groups and government and Indonesia.

Last year it was Australian "Live" cattle being sent to Egypt... what a horrifying mess that was.

If you haven't watched the video, I hope you can manage it sometime or some way. It isn't easy to watch though.

a little hypocritical to be crying because they arent being sent to the slaughter house in 5 star accomodation?

Agit8dChop, did you watch the whole video story? and who is "We"? Are these animals ending up on your plate? Are you living in Indonesia?

I think the point is there are humane ways to slaughter the animals and prior to that they should be treated decently. Over and above the fact that it's the right thing to do; animals subjected to that treatment release adrenaline and excess hormones that are not healthy for us to consume.

No, its actually rather simple minded to pretend that being killed is just as bad no matter how it is done or how long it takes, or how you are treated in advance of your death.

You are essentially saying "they are going to die, why worry how?"

Any normal human would immediately know "why you worry how" is because the how of a death is much more important that the fact of a death. And if you doubt it for an instance, volunteer to have your skin peeled off without anesthesia while you are alive, over the course of three full days rather than to be killed by lethal injection or some such. You wouldnt, we all know you wouldnt, and you know you wouldnt.

So dont be trite. You care how another living being is treated and how much it suffers because that matters to all human beings that arent dysfunctional wastes of life.

Hey I couldnt agree more, I think they should be treated humanely and atleast not have to suffer. I just find it rather ironic... we are complaining because the transport to their death isnt comfortable.

Its like using an alcohol swap on the arm of someone getting a lethal injection!

Agit8dChop, I asked you if you watched the whole video / story. It doesn't appear, from your posts, that you understand it at all, or what this thread concerns. I will ask again. Have you watched the video / story?

It's just pointing the finger elsewhere.


It's horrible what we do to other living creatures.

sevensheeps, did you watch the video of the story? It's not about pointing a finger "elsewhere", as it deals with specific issues. As well... elsewhere from "where"? The U.S.? The States? Any abattoir / Slaughterhouse in the U.S. caught treating animals as in this thread, will face serious consequences and prison. It's outright illegal in the U.S. and most the world.

As "A Bloody Business" concerns Australian "Live Cattle" sent to Indonesia, I will also point out that anyone caught treating cattle like that in Australia will face severe fines and prison.

I hope people that have the bandwidth and allowance, watch the story. I am very interested in what people have to say about it. Again, I will say, it is not easy to watch and I hope people watch all of it. The story isn't about slaughtering animals as an industry... it's about HOW they are treated and HOW they are slaughtered in Indonesia.
