Full Description

Live export of cattle and sheep is a longstanding component of the global animal trade. Mainly covering export from Australia to Asia, this collection of commentaries from a trusted expert in the area explores a range of related issues from an animal welfare perspective, also including wider topics such as the growing role of big industry in livestock farming, attempts in the USA to legislate against exposés of cruelty in the livestock industries, ethical issues surrounding livestock researchers and their support from the industry, and concerns about growing meat consumption worldwide. Each commentary is accompanied by a further narrative explaining the significance of the piece and its historical relevance to the debate about the live export industry. Revealing and engaging, this collection provides a readable overview of potential problems in the trade of livestock animals.
