RSPCA Australia's Great & Small Talk
An update on live sheep export.
"Think about it, you've got an animal that grows wool to make winter clothing and we're shoving them into these hot humid environments... it makes no sense."
It's the pressing animal welfare issue that has Australians passionately debating, with the vast majority wanting to see live sheep export stopped for good.
In 2024 after many inquiries and with mountains of evidence showing that not only was the trade broken, but inherently cruel, the Federal Government made the historic decision to legislate an end date for the live sheep export trade.
In today's episode we speak with those on the frontline advocating for sheep welfare, Dr Suzie Fowler – Chief Science Officer at RSPCA Australia, and Dr Lynn Simpson, Former live export veterinarian. With our host Brian Daly they separate fact from media spin, discuss their experiences with the industry and why the industry must transition to ensure a better future for Australia's sheep and farmers. It's an episode you don't want to miss.
