Bota is a wise man, he's acting now, not when the place is bare
and the animals are dying.

Trust me they are ALL like maniacs with hatred& revenge. Its like a fever pitch up there- but offers to move them south rejected.

*just cannot get your city minds around.*
You forget I am no city girl worked station when i was younger for the horses. why do u think AA and the others clash so much. Dont like offices computers or snobs.

*You mean well, that is about all.*

*Lots of feeling and no knowledge leads to inevitable disaster.
Yes which is why I get farmers & buyers together. Cant do it without farmers thats for sure. We just have great contacts with Muslim meat buyers- not rocket science. Iam nothing special just a messenger tbo.

We've seen by the comments of Ludwig and the RSPCA.. Yep agreed.
I hold a different cautious view on RSPCA tbo. Think about it. Lyn turns up with footage to RSPCA head office-- imop all RSPCA staff are funded by fed & state Gov but what can they say-- sorry Lyn we are not interested? I think poor old Lyns dragging them along- smart move Lyn good girl but watch your back

WA, Ok tell me- so far we think plant each 500 ks smaller ones and pump water..

Gertrude, to be honest, you've ranted and raved for years, but so
far haven't achieved anything except annoy lots of people. You
don't understand how the economy works and you don't understand
the meat industry. You then wonder why people won't deal with
you.

Those meatworkers you keep talking about seem to have vanished,
because when meatworks try to find workers, Aussies turn them
down, 457 workers keep the industry going.

A worker losing his job, can find another job. Somebody who has
invested his life and often more then one generation in building
a dream, a business and a lifestyle, commits everything. You
claim to care about animals. When people in charge of large
numbers of animals are in crisis, I can tell you its often not
too nice for the animals, because they stop thinking rationally.
All very sad, but its reality.

If you think that building meatworks is the answer, go right ahead.
I won't hold my breath lol. You've never run a station and had
to make the big decisions. You rode a horse, big deal.

Come back when you have actually achieved something, not just
flapped your arms.

The cattle in the north are not suitable to ship south, the ones
being shot are the old ones. They would not make the trip and
meatworks want meat, not skin and bones.

The answer for the industry is clear. Install modern humane technolgy
in the third world, third world animals will benefit too. That
is how progress is made, one step at a time, with viable industries.

Yabby,
I will let you in on a little secret. There are plans underway for WA right now & more will follow. So you just rest easy knowing those boats can be fitted out with freezers ok. It wont cost much more.
Sure it will take time & its pity we didnt start before but we can only blame the liberal party for that. ( well both)
We will end up with 3% going live imop if any at all.
Those 3% will be much easier to monitor. Things change with time & this industry will be no different.
Now thats all sorted can I interest you in my Halal Vegetable programe for Saudi etc. Interesting facts are appearing too. Did you know Yabbs there is more *profit in the future in exporting Halal accredited vegetables & cosmetics than meat product.- true

- You see its all in the figures really. Your a figures man- It costs about $220 to $245 to process a beast & operation costs. If you add on the amount of water a cow drinks to some crops its a good result. In ten years a farmer will realise he gets a higher return doing that then growing Animals.

But that I agree IS well down the track.

Gertrude, we have heard it all before dear. The would be and could
be and the plans. Now get back when you have actually achieved
something.

Yabby,

If you were really in WA Agriculture & the meat industry you would have already heard about WA

As far as ME achieving something- anything I am not going to disclose here just where we have been able to make a difference. Instead I will say this- at least we are trying to open plants for farmers to give them alternatives & slaughter their animals in a proper fashion. That is far more than your doing stuck in your 19th century time zone peddling your evil trade of live exports.

Darn It now I will be out of posts what a waste your a pest!

Yabby

I didn’t see this comment ok-

*Gertrude, to be honest, *
Um & U haven’t.? At least I have had a plan. Yours is to continue to breed to send animals to BARBARIC deaths
You take 1st prize on annoying.

*You don't understand how the economy*

. No YOU don’t its unsustainable. Public have funded it for years -*no more. Value adding is what the economy needs.

*Those meat-workers ,*
Yep the industry destroyed them thousands of them 20 years + ago.

*457 workers keep the industry going.*
Plenty available until migrants wanting regional housing are trained.

*A worker losing his job, can find another job.*

Yes the mines remember .?

* Somebody who has invested his life *
Such a good little liberal you are. So according to you meat workers didn’t invest in homes their lives—& they dont matter.?

There was no mercury from the live export industry. They have sat back and laughed as men committed suicide to 20 years + after losing THEIR dreams their Abattoirs & business.

*You claim to care about animals. *

Yes correct- this must ever happen again. When Indonesia told Australia they were stopped.

Come back when .. I will come back when I like as I wish sunshine but you are free to leave if u wish.

The cattle in the north are not ... Pity MLA and the Minister didn’t tell them Indonesia were winding up BUT


*The answer for the industry is clear. Install modern humane technology*
With WHOSE money. ? No more Aussie tax pays $ going off shore to pay for Elders etc. It will be spend here. Just watch the public go berserk if they hear their $ is going to live exports that they oppose.
You got away with it for years- but not now.

*in the third world, third world animals will benefit too.*
You would think that. You would think people wouldn’t continue to help animals in 3rd world countries
60 years + the industry has had- Its over Yabby. As I said 3% maybe—will go live.
