Pros And Cons Of Animals Before Exportation
1) Just imagine being put on a ship, with thousands of other people. Those people are dirty, smelly and revolting. You have no room to move, the air you breathe is contaminated by faeces and urine, you are being taken to your death.
2) For 60 years, cruelty towards livestock on ships has gone completely unnoticed. What these animals suffer on typical export ships is hard to swallow.

11 ) Beside all the controversy and alleged resolutions regarding live animal exportation, it all comes down to how the government act upon it. So unless the government finds a way to neutralise live animal exportation, whilst finding a way for the farmers to make profit, I believe that no rectification will come of it. There are way too many complications and considerations to be contemplated by our
