The Australian live export industry has been knowingly supplying millions of animals to this fate for decades. If this isn't a complete disregard for animal welfare for the love of money I don't know what is.
I've heard that there are allot of farmers against live export. Unfortunately they have no say since their animals are sold at action.
The welfare of animals would have been significantly different back in the small family farm days. Not that the farmers in those days were more compassionate, but they were able to better care for manageable numbers. Now you have a few people "caring" for 30,000 hens plus.
As I always say, it's over population and globalisation. What do we expect?

Actually, some farmers contentiously refuse to sell animals for the live export market. It can be done. Kudos to them. Wish there were more.

Re small family farm days vs contemporary farms - agreed. Apologies for being behind with the times, but can you elaborate a little with overpopulation and globalisation (especially this. What do you mean by globalisation? Cultural, economic, etc?)? Or direct me to previous posts of yours where you've explained your interpretation of things? If you can be bothered, of course

I mean all forms of globalisation. One form inevitably leads to another. If you're asking why it's bad, there's endless commentaries on the internet.
