For more than a decade, supporters like you and animal welfare organisations like World Animal Protection have worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the immense suffering of millions of sheep and cattle in the live export trade.
Australian animals deserve better and there is a groundswell of community support that expects better. We won't stop fighting for a phase out of live exports. Will you join us?
On 30th September 2023, the independent expert panel submitted its report into the phase-out of live sheep exports from Australia.
The panel is chaired by senior public servant Philip Glyde and includes former Labor minister, Warren Snowdon, Western Australian agriculture expert Susan Middleton and former RSPCA boss Heather Neil.
We commend the Government for recognising that the live sheep export trade is no longer acceptable in today's society, and for taking the first step to bring an end to this cruel and inhumane practice.
Now the expert panel has finished its report, we urge the Government to honour its commitment to move to quickly phase out live sheep exports, and to support the development of alternative markets that prioritise animal welfare and sustainability.
We look forward to working with the government to ensure that the phase out of these cargo ships of cruelty goes ahead.
Despite many years of public opposition and calls for change, Australia remains a significant player in the cruel live export industry.
Together, we can end the suffering of Aussie sheep and cattle. Forever.
