Guest guest Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Please keep in mind there is an absolute furore in Australia at the moment with the Live Exports Issue. Prime Minister Howard is making front page news: " Throw the book at him " and farmers calling for deregistration of his group Animal Lib SA. ANIMAL DEFENDERS PRESS RELEASE Support for Ralph November 27 2003 “The recent actions of animal liberationist, Ralph Hahnheuser, in feeding pork to sheep bound for export demonstrates the depth of feelings against the export trade,†says Claudette Vaughan from Animal Defenders Australia. “Ralph’s action was a carefully planned operation where the animals themselves were not be harmed in any way by the addition of rendered pig meat. “For years, liberationists and welfarists have been working behind the scenes to get the live export trade banned. “Ralph’s action sends a clear and resounding message out to farmers, business people and government involved in the Live Trade Export that it will not be tolerated. If you work in the Industry you must be accountable for your actions.†Ms Vaughan says for years activists have written, protested, accomodated government and the trade in the hope of finding a solution to end the misery of sheep being sent off for slaughter in the Middle East, to no avail. “Ralph deserves our full support and he has it. Animal Defenders Australia is currently setting up a Support Network to highlight the issue of live exports and to assist Hahnheuser in his legal defence. “Ralph Hahnhauser is only one man. Whatever the outcome of his court case, I’m sure there will be plenty of activists to follow in his wake.†For further details contact: Claudette Vaughan, Animal Defenders Australia 0400 606 495 ___________ Animail.com - " Saving Animals & the Environment One E-Mail At A Time.
