Export of live sheep
Sir,—l join Anne Thomson and Estelle Win in feelings of repugnance at the miserable and wretched journey the exported sheep were subjected to. The farmers who could take part in such an unmerciful and inhuman enterprise must have reached the bottom of the barrel and should consider some other means of livelihood. Do they think that because animals cannot voice complaint that they do not feel pain and misery? These animals have provided wool and lambs and, having outlived their usefulness, to be disposed of in this way is disgusting to say the least. Any bad luck these farmers, John Tate, of Animal Enterprises, and the Minister of Agriculture have will be well deserved. — Yours, etc., N. L. GIBSON. January 24, 1986.
