Thanks for your comments.

Your both talking about domestic abattoirs which come under State Governments.

All export abattoir animals are pre stunned under stick guidelines by AQIS

To slaughter any animal without pre stunning is an act of barbaric cruelty and gross indecency.


There is a method in my maddess.

The more domestic abattoirs we can divert to export standard results in less live exports and better standards for domestic.

This can be acheieved by upgrading the all slaughtering to AQIS standard. That way all animals going through that plant be it domestic or export are pre stunned.

Small abattoir owner who agree to have their plants updated to export standards at 'no cost' to them become a exporters as well as producers. That flows on to the farmers.
Once farmers see this working and better prices for their stock its hoped they will get involed too.
You have a flow off system. The domestic supplier also an expoter.
Farmers becoming farmers, producers, and exporters. Local Councils assisting and power to fix the levies.
We will add some value adding for small goods.
If you like its a direct hit back at the middle men in the industry.
Australian Farmers once opended to the world of exports wont worry too much about listening to the middle men.
You me asked about Animals Australia. Can you just imagine if they got onboard with this.
I have letters here from every Premier in Australia claiming yes they would encourage more plants in their states and overseas funding would be welcome.
Can you imagine also the way the farmers attitude would change towards AA
It would be a big step towards helping the animals both domestic and fazing out live exports.
I cant make them however. I can only keep asking Animals Australia to re think it.
