It is not any governments role to be demanding what anyone else does with their production.

Only if they are given an accurate replica of their habitat.

Yes, but encourage Australian processing

 @B7QPPVYanswered…8mos8MO

No, but ensure the animals are STRICTLY treated humanely, and that the needs of Australia has been taken care of first. Inhumane treatment is to be punished by law.

 @97Y52RCanswered…4yrs4Y
