Should the government allow the export of live animals to foreign countries?

Depends on the reasoning

depends on situation

It depends on what reason they are transported for

Well it would depend on the purpose and if the animal can adapt to Australia’s environment.

if it is not harming the animals then yes.

yes but they cant have diseases or carry bad bacteria

If it’s essential yes, but with strict regulation to ensure it’s humane

Only if they are animals that will not ruin the ecosystem of the place they are going to

Yes and no, it is helpful to other countries but it is also important to reduce the cruelty on the animals

Yes but only as animals in zoos or exotic pets, owners of exotic pets should have a licence for keeping one or more.

yes only after we have excess of meat within the country then we can sell excess

Depends on the animal

We should not be killing animals at all

Only if the process is proven to be comfortable for the animal

Yes but only under strict rules under agreements

Yes but with ensuring that they are ethically transported and exported

Yes but only to promote animal breeding programs. All animals intended for the countries food source should be boxed meat meeting Australian standards.

Yes, as long as conditions are humane

Don’t know enough about the matter to form an opinion

torture them on the way

No, it is their choice they brought it.

No, But it needs to be done friendly to the animals and have all the supplies needed

Only if they are being saved from being endangered or essential livestock trading. Animals have to be respected and safe.

Kill animals then ship their meat

Yes, exports are crucial to the Australian economy and especially to farmers as we have large numbers of animal products industries and a low market for these meats in Australia

Only if the foreign country is struggling and needs immediate help.

yes but not native or endangered animals

Yes, but only if the animals are taking care of and they follow animal welfare guildlines.

We should export our meats already butchered create jobs in abattoirs for australians

Endangered species should not be allowed to be exported however species with a high population should be allowed to be exported to countries that enforce animal cruelty laws.

It should be allowed if there are the risks of animal cruelty removed.

If doesn't affect environment or other animals, enforces animal cruelty laws.

no, as it can promote spreading diseases

No, but allow imports of live animals

In situations where the transport is because someone is intending to buy the animals to raise/breed, than live transport is the only way. In situations where it's to have fresher meat, it is probably unnecessary. For both of these though, I'm against the animals being transported experiencing cruelty and bad conditions. If those issues can be mitigated than I have no qualms.

as long as they are looked after / given propper care it is fine

Context dependant

yes If the animals are in a suitable environment

Yes long as there are qualified carers and the conditions are very humane.

Yes, as long as they are adequately, safely exported and handled and testing for viruses are conducted.

Yes, but only if it's non-destructive or beneficial to the foreign country evironmentally

Yes, but with intention to phase out

It should allow exports if the animals are completely safe

If the already have that same animals e.g: Cows in Australia and cows in the UK too you can export they can because if they ship it to a country in which the cow is foreign it might catch or spread disseses.

yes however more practices should be taken to ensure the safety of the animals

animals belonging to Australian residents who are migrating/moving to a different country should be allowed to be exported .

if the animals wellfare is taken care of

yes, allow exports but make sure the animals are being treated well, and not cruely

yes, as long as they are treated humanely during transportation
