Please, read this link if you are truly interested in both sides of the story.

The second point is that this price impact will have an effect on not just the exporters but all those in the cattle industry. Farmers who have not connection to export will suffer along with the exporters.
These are the issues that the knee-jerk reaction ignores. I agree that this is far from pleasant (and being an ex-farm girl I am a little more attuned to the laws of nature than those that have grown-up thinking milk comes out of a carton), but over-reacting and damaging not only a sector of an industry but the entire industry is not warranted. There is nothing inherently wrong with the export of animals provided that it is done in a way to minimise animal harm, and all efforts should be directed at ensuring that this is the case.
