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

Yes, but they should only export animals to countries with ethical farming practices and should aim to reduce the amount of live exports.

depends on situation

Yes, exports are crucial to the farming industry, but with strict animal welfare laws and regulations.

If it is done safely with the welfare of the animals prioritised.

Yes, and we should be a driver of animal cruelty laws in other countries and set an international standard.

Yes, under certain conditions and standards

Animals should always be care for and have veterinary care

No, we should kill the animal here to increase local jobs and ship the dead animal in cool storage

No, except for breeding and conservation purposes

Yes, but only in ethical and supervised methods of exportation

Processed by Australian workers in our meatworks. Maintaining jobs

Increase standards for live animal transport.

No. We should not be increasing the world consumption of meat, too much of which is bad for human and planetary health

keep slaughtering and butchering jobs in Australia

Yes if exports are cruelty free certified going to countries which enforce animal cruelty laws

No, but foreign aid to create freezer capability to these export countries and set up culturally appropriate abbatoirs here in australia

Yes, as long as it is humane and hygienic

Yes, but under strict conditions...example i want to import a beef bull for breeding or some breeding stock we should be able to do this...mass hit and miss exports of cattle to an unknown destination or fate is not acceptable but an organised and monitored process as we do with race horses would be acceptable...it depends on the customers integrity really

Only if it can be done humanely.

yes as long as the animals is packed with proper care

Yes but for pet and animal conservation reasons.

Strict rules need to apply. Animal cruelty is rife in countries and we need to make sure they are humanly killed

Not really because if you go to send a animal/s over sea's to another country, depending on how long it takes, the animal could possibly die from starvation, lack of water (if the food and water had ran out) or possible could die from motion sickness.

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

yes as long as the animals have no diseases

depends on why they are getting exported

only if the animals are safe and all arrive alive

Yes, only if the other country has its animal rights ensured to be humane and the travel conditions are good and if the export is absolutely necessary.

Yes, but they should take better care for the animals so they don"t get as hurt

Only if the the boat/machine for carrying the live stock must be looked after.

Only if animals are 100% unharmed and if it's neccesary

yes farm animals, no exotic animals

If the animals can safely be transported and have cruelty laws in place

Abolish the meat & dairy industry.

as long as the export circumstances are safe and the animals are not harmed.

to certain extents

Yes, however with more care to the animals involved than there currently is

yes, but only if there transport conditions are good enough

As long as animals aren't being harmed they can continue it.

Depends what animal

if they are not endangered, extinct and are being used only for sustainable farming

Yes is is crucial to farmers but in a more humane way for the animals

Only if the animal's life is endangered.

I think it should be allowed but they should be well looked after while getting exported.

only government can do it

Yes, but only animals related to approved scientific research or absolutely crucial to the farming industry.

Yes but only for breeding purposes, not for slaughter.

I would like to export some animals a live stock for food purposes, as long as the Australian people get more than they’re fare share making meat cheaper for aussies. As for koalas and native animals they shouldn’t be exported to other countries at all. They are what make Australia unique and I believe it was increase tourism.

No, if the animals are being treated cruelly then 100% no! but if they are being treated humanly and kindly than yes

Yes, as long as exportation remains within animal cruelty regulations.

It depends on the animal and the environment they are transported in

Depends on the magnitude. No, I would ban it. However, the export of different breeding species, etc may be permitted if necessary.

Yes, but make sure animals are treated fairly during shipping.

only in certain circumstances and under strict laws
