Just sharing some concerns about live exports (yeah, the transportation of living animals in ships)
I wonder if we could do more about live exports. I would like to know if it’s worse than some other practices in factory farming that we often highlight (like caging hens), but it seems more susceptible of getting support from meat-eaters who consider it cruel and unnecessary. I know the subject has been mentioned en passant in some Forum posts and it’s a subject that may figure in European reforms…
I’m particularly concerned with Brazil, since it’s such a large exporter—but the same applies to Australia, too. At least two organizations (Fórum Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Animal—FNDPA , and Mercy for Animals) working with legal measures to ban the practice in Brazil have received support from EA—btw, one can sign a petition on MfA’s website. But my (perfunctory) knowledge of Brazilian politics and law makes skeptic that this could work without external pressure.
