No Yabby
The bloody point of the matter it is you who have done nothing- except post on this forum and almost committing fraud by inferring you are involved with The Live animal Trade when I know your not.

Nor does the Industry appreciate your comments no matter how much you delude yourself otherwise.

I have even had calls from the Industry if you really want to know asking me who this goose Yabby is. I have NOT given your real name.

I told them we find you very helpful which raised no end of irritation much to our amusement.

Your so ignorant of what’s REALLY going on you are probably unaware that Malaysia are building a whole PORT just to use it as the gate way to the work for Halal.

Malaysia is very much at the heart. In fact it was US who started this turn around working with Amjad.

JAKIM IS! The hub. Make NO Mistake.

Now as we pushed for more involvement with Malaysia and JAKIM it should be clear even to YOU something’s gone astray.

The Australia president of AFIC Ikebal Patel and one other has done the dirty by approaching AQIS NOT to pre stun HERE in Australia.
I am sure you have heard about it.
They have gone for a quick easy buck to certify one of the more extreme Muslim buyers.

We will NOT work with them any longer BUT - Hey Guess What Other Muslims are happy to step in and strongly recommend ALL Animals are pre stunned.
So as I said Yabby - Whatever it takes.

First we now have to go back and challenge the Muslim Leadership of Australia.
No problem - It just takes time. AFIC are NOT recognized by ME Saudi anyway as certifiers. [Never were!]
WE were assisting them with that!. Too bad now they have shown they can not be trusted.
For them.
So now your suggesting YOU suggested working with Malaysia?
You’re a joke. You know very well you have copied what we have been doing for four years!

Pale, I have made it clear many times, that I am not involved with
the live trade. That does not mean that I don't understand the
issues. Most farmers would not even bother arguing with a heap
of veggies, as its usually fairly pointless, all reason flies
out the window.

What you refuse to examine, is the possibility of building
abattoirs in Malaysia and slaughtering Australian sheep there.
Its not the Middle East.

Yet it makes perfect sense as an option and can be done
humanely.

Its far better for the livestock, then trucking them
interstate, as happens now

Yabby, you must have the patience of a saint to spend so much time carefully explaining your views to someone that will not listen.

This forum is for debate, not just a general discussion for people all sharing exactly the same beliefs.

Without input from others with differing views, new ideas will not be formed and up to date information will not be shared.

Over the past 12 months Yabby has tried to explain live exports from a farmers point of view. We should be appreciating his honesty and the fact that he even bothers when clearly no one else that shares his opinion does.

Wendy you only see OLO as a platform for your agenda with some notion that a huge number of the population read your posts. If it wasnt for Yabby you and dickie would be here all alone stroking each others egos.

paleif, you might have to tell us

"When did the last person die of Anthrax in Australia?"

The last recorded case was in july 1998 when a Brisbane warehouse forklift driver contracted the disease, and went on to have a full recovery. What is your point?

paleif,
"Cant you imagine the drama if this country is ever attacked.

It would be really horrible until I guess you stopped to think some of these lots might be treated the same as the Animals they turned their backs on sending them to such treatment.

I do hope if it has to happen somebody reminds them that they saw nothing wrong with being held down and having their throats slit slowly."

And you think they'll treat you differently?

If your "prediction" holds true isn't that more reason to educate them on humane slaughter now, and not antagonise by withholding sheep.
They may even hold special angst for those known to have attempted to deprive them of fresh Australian sheep.

Maybe you have more to worry about than the rest of us.

Hi Dickie!
Looks to me this is yet another "stirring" thread from reading pales replies?
