WEST Australian livestock and transport industry people will run a protest convoy of trucks that is expected to severely disrupt traffic in Perth today, March 28th.
The protest is part of the Keep the Sheep grassroots movement that aims to take action against the Albanese Government’s ban on live sheep exports that comes into effect on May 1, 2028.
But the protest organisers say a few hours of disruption to Perth peoples’ workday is nothing compared with the devastation that the ban on the live-sheep export industry will have on WA farming families and their communities.
“More than that, it will have consequences that will hurt truckies, stock agents, shearers and sporting clubs in WA towns like Kojonup, Wagin and Kulin,” protest organisers point out.
“The nations that buy our sheep overseas are concerned about the ban. They trade with Australia for our high quality and superior sheep.
“The ban won’t create demand for chilled or boxed meat, it will simply push the trade to countries with far lower animal welfare standards.”
So, the “moral argument” of the Federal Government and groups like Animals Australia and PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) is that banning live sheep exports stops a major source of animal cruelty.
There’s no argument that industrial-scale shipping and killing of animals is not a pretty business. It produces huge amounts of excrement during transport and blood and guts during the killing process.
Animal liberationists also object to the fact that Moslems slit the throats of live animals. Well, Australian sheep farmers, most of whom are not Moslem, have been doing the same for as long as they have been killing animals for personal consumption.
Incidentally, the killing of animals for food was first given moral sanction in Genesis 9:3: “Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.”
Slaughtering of sheep by throat cutting goes back a very long way and the custom and moral teaching among the Hebrews, long before the Moslems, was that blood should be drained from the meat before it is cooked and consumed.
The Hebrew laws for rightly handling blood originated in Genesis 9:4–6: “But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.”
The passage context is where God first allows Noah and his descendants to eat animal flesh, while still forbidding them to eat blood, highlighting the fact that the animal’s blood is its life.
This same teaching was later codified for Israel in Leviticus 17:10–16, where God explicitly prohibits the eating of blood. The reason for this command is in Leviticus 17:11: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.”
So the Old Testament moral teaching is that the blood of both humans and animals is sacred because it represents, and literally gives life. So in obedience to Mosaic and Levitical law, animals were sacrificed daily and their blood sprinkled on the temple altar to atone for the sins of the Israelites.
But even before the giving of the Law of Moses, the Hebrews in Egypt were commanded by God to kill lambs and sprinkle their blood over the doorposts and lintels of their homes. They were also commanded to roast and eat the lamb. “They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.” (Exodus 12: 8-9)
So that was Old Testament, what about the New Testament? Aside from the orthodox teaching that Christ is the embodiment of “the sacrificial lamb” there were some brief moral/ethical instructions about meat eating in the New Testament.
The daily animal sacrifices ended in AD70 with the destruction of the Jerusalem temple but before that the first Christians and the Hebrew Christian converts in particular, had to grapple with the meat-eating issue, which was prominent in the minds of the Hebrews but not the Gentiles.
The Apostles discussed the issue and James made the following recommendation as recorded in the Book of Acts (15:19-20) “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.”
St Paul later followed up on this advice in 1st Corinthians 8 by noting that while believers were free to eat meat and that idols essentially meant nothing, they needed to be sensitive to the other Hebrew believers who struggled with the issue. “Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak,” he wrote.
So any alleged “moral case” against the killing and eating of meat, such as those beliefs of animal liberationists against livestock farming and the meat industry are on very shaky grounds. They have to deny some 4000 years of biblical teaching on the subject.
They also place themselves in the position of enforcers of some allegedly new, more enlightened moral code, not realising that the apostles themselves warned against false teachers who “prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.” (ITimothy 4)
In fact is that the anti-meat industry lobby is essentially pushing a new moral code for a so-called new world order based on the new holy commandment of Net Zero Emissions under the “new covenant” of Agenda 2030.
The new god is nature (or Gaia Mother Earth) and livestock and farmers are somehow portrayed as enemies of the environment. The alleged solution? East insect protein and “liberate” the “fragile landscape” from the hooves of cattle and sheep and the atmosphere from their methane emissions.
This same lobby will tell you that they are on a great humanitarian mission to “save the planet” and “the science” is, of course, guiding them. The religious undertones are obvious, despite the appeal to science – or is it “scientism”?
The only sound moral case the anti-sheep export lobby has is that the animals not be treated cruelly. This has undoubtedly happened in the earlier days of live sheep exporting, but is something that has been addressed. It is essentially a matter of improving technology.
The only other valid argument, which is one of economics, is whether it is better for farmers to have all the sheep killed in Australia and the meat shipped to markets like the Middle East.
And so they shall BE. As they imagine themselves and things to be. And as long as they imagine themselves and things to be, they shall be as they imagine it all to be.
So shall they be.
Oh well, have “fun” with it, I guess…?
Re: “And now, quite remarkably, a pack of genocidal baby-eating paedophilic Satanists have taken it upon themselves to COUNTERMAND God Himself, with creepy Bill and Klaus Schwab declaring that we can NO LONGER eat meat, instead “you vill eat zee bugs, and you vill own nothing and be happy!”.
Gotta wonder why they, specifically, were chosen to lead the raid on humanity and who authorised the choice. Surely someone else will have to take over from them given that they are now so severely compromised.
Hey folks,
If we’d like to put our current circumstances into some sort of Biblical context, then just for argument’s sake let’s entertain the notion that God really did give Noah His consent for Mankind to chow down on the animal kingdom after the Flood.
FWIW, that sure seems to have been the accepted practice across most all Human cultures in modern recorded history for the past couple of thousand years at least.
And now, quite remarkably, a pack of genocidal baby-eating paedophilic Satanists have taken it upon themselves to COUNTERMAND God Himself, with creepy Bill and Klaus Schwab declaring that we can NO LONGER eat meat, instead “you vill eat zee bugs, and you vill own nothing and be happy!”.
And now they’re out and about contaminating and poisoning and killing all the cows and pigs and sheep and goats and chickens and birds and bees just to make SURE we don’t get any fancy ideas about eating anything besides zee bugs.
I’m guessing Noah wouldn’t have put up with this shit for a minute.
daviddd2 said – “… So God improved on his work and added meat to the menu once the animals went forth and multiplied to sustainable levels?”
To be strictly accurate about it, before the Flood, Mankind was forbidden to eat flesh. And the entire planet being a rainforest-covered wonderland filled with a stupendous abundance of exotic fruits and vegetative nourishment, there was entirely no need for any such predation.
However, after the Flood, the bounty of the Earth was so severely diminished that God made it known to Noah that thenceforth, Mankind was permitted to consume the flesh of animals.
Hey, if the whole world changes under our feet, so do some of the rules. Simples.
And let’s be honest about it, folks, even the Mediterranean diet enjoyed by all the New Testament characters included lots of fish and livestock. Like fat people blocking the sidewalk, there’s no getting around it.
RE: “And of course, being the touchy-feely good-natured people that we are, the servicing of all those clients would be done all nice and legal-like, and only in the best possible taste.”
He, he… Twould certainly leave a much better taste than the servicing we’re currently providing them.
RE: “If one believes in the Biblical narrative?, and follows the chronology properly, they will know that in the beginning God made man in his image as a non-carnivorous creature. ”
So God improved on his work and added meat to the menu once the animals went forth and multiplied to sustainable levels?
Goes to show God had a good handle on sustainability. Not to mention providing an additional survival option.
Which leads me to speculate whether Gates and Co adding “ze bugs” to the menu provides them with the notion that they are simulating “God’s work”. I can only imagine how gratifying that must be for them.

Hate to say it, Karen, but we’ve only got ourselves to blame for much of this, being so easily seduced by the allure of “convenience” and all the prepackaged manufactured shit fed to us by the big corporate outfits.
Anyone who has boiled themselves up some decent bone broth knows well the accessory benefit of a bucket of good healthy lard to be skimmed off the top. And it doesn’t go off, especially if kept in a sealed container in the fridge.
And for those really motivated kitchen technicians, churning your own butter from cream is dead easy – never mind how expensive the cream is now on the supermarket shelves. Maybe get a cow or a goat or even a sheep before they’re all poisoned and slaughtered and banned along with all the chooks and the bees by our genocidal fake corporate “governments” to “save” us all from “bird flu” and “climate change”.
And I should add my own personal opinion, that in any decent self-respecting country, every last one of the low-life sold-out Treasonous mongrel bastards responsible for and complicit in this rolling mountain of genocidal Globalist BS should have been swinging by the neck long ago.
And of course, being the touchy-feely good-natured people that we are, the servicing of all those clients would be done all nice and legal-like, and only in the best possible taste.
Dripping and lard have long disappeared from the shelves of the supermarket chains, it’s as if we’re being forced to use unhealthy seed oils for cooking. And you’d think the local butcheries would provide animal fats for cooking –
but….. Or have animal fats been outlawed, thin-end of the
wedge to getting us off eating real meats ?
‘Incidentally, the killing of animals for food was first given moral sanction in Genesis 9:3: “Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.”
If one believes in the Biblical narrative?, and follows the chronology properly, they will know that in the beginning God made man in his image as a non-carnivorous creature. For example.
‘And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.’ (Genesis. 1:29).
But this was the antediluvian age of the long lived Adamic race. The Bible then informs us, that it was only after The Flood, that the postdiluvian descendants of Noah [who were a more degenerate and shorter lived race], were then permitted to consume the flesh of animals.
‘Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.’ (Genesis. 9: 3).
Indeed, the reader could easily interpret Genesis 9: 3, as an endorsement for cannibalism!
If people imagine that the ‘feeding of the five thousand’ was a contemporary account of a ‘miraculous’ food festival given by JC and co, – I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Some years ago the Australian government gave Vietnam some $400 million to help them teach their peopel to slaughter their animals humanely. SOunds like a money laundering gig to me, as Vietnam is notoriously corrupt and we do not know (has there ever been an audit?) if the money even went there.
I have had an email back from Keep The SHeep and will be tuning Boss Cookie Ben Sutherland in to the liability thing, using this as an example, which is one of two precedents the Andrews Victorian state government set:
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/mcdonald-s-demands-super-size-compensation-for-losing-busiest-city-store-20190626-p521kd.html
The federal government cannot sound the death knell for an industry unless full compensation is paid-and this would amount to billions of dollars of taxpayer money.
I just hope the idea is received well, and Ben and his crew go through with such a challenge.
MICHAEL SLOVANOS if you know Bible so well , than do some searching regarding the shape of the earth, if the earth is stationary or not, about the firmament and come back with what the Bible speaks on these subjects.
A moral argument v an economic argument? It’s a curly one.
Seems to me that if sheep are required to be transported as per the below image, I find it an unpalatable process. Not enuff room to shake a tail. Fine for a short trip of a few hours but for a couple of weeks?
Yes, I know they’re sheep, I know they’re raised and scheduled for slaughter, I know economics plays a big part but what price the cruelty of such tight constraint for an extended period of time for a living creature used to roaming in a pasture? It’s going to be slaughtered so it’s maybe OK?
Imagine yourself jam packed shoulder to shoulder with other passengers standing on your feet barely able to move on a trip of even 24 hours let alone 2 weeks.
Wouldn’t treat a pet like that would we? Are the profit margins so low they justify subjecting an animal to such conditions because it’s not one of OUR OWN pets.
So how is this kind of treatment accepted except on economic grounds? The least that should be provided is sufficient space for each sheep to at least be able to lie down during the trip.
I don’t give a rat’s arse whether some foreigner in Abu Dabi agrees or whether he has different standards and values. Excessive callousness for profit should not be one of ours.

The livestock industries were fully in place at Federation, and so are fully accepted as part of the still existing Australian economy.
Any alteration to this standard requires a referendum.
Politicians who do not enforce Constitutional Law commit treason and should be hung for it.
Constitutional Law was established by Queen Victoria and therefore cannot be ignored by piggy politicians.
So put them on the burner.
brianajnz said – “… We do not know where the original Holy land was, Scotland, Yemen, Indus Valley…”
But we do know where Bethlehem is, and Megiddo too.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I wonder how many of these so called animal liberationists have pet dogs fenced into tiny dirty backyards with little shade and only sand areas to live in.
Those sandy areas a haven for fleas and tic. Others may be cat lovers whose animals are roaming at night destroying wildlife, digging holes in others’ gardens or “cat fighting” on other people’s property.
If Bill Gates’ dream comes to fruition where we are to eat worms, crickets and grubs, is there any difference to killing these food sources (?) to the animals we now eat if we can still afford such luxury?
The Editor really going out on a limb this time quoting the Bible.
We do not know where the original Holy land was, Scotland, Yemen, Indus Valley.
What we do believe is Constantine put it where it is today.
If it is in the correct place then the Israelites and Jesus were Arabs and the wrong book for Europeans.
Man has been here for tens of thousands of years before Adam and Eve who I believe were an additional creation or DNA change 6,000 years ago a gave rise to the blue eyes.
The Bible should be put to one side as a belief system.
I’ll be blunt
The author said – “… Slaughtering of sheep by throat cutting goes back a very long way and the custom and moral teaching among the Hebrews, long before the Moslems, was that blood should be drained from the meat before it is cooked and consumed…”
And FWIW, folks, Jesus Himself presided over and personally slit the throat of the Paschal Lamb at the Passover Feast with his disciples. Hard to find a more compelling dose of reality than that.
Of course, none of these considerations have any relevance to a bunch of people whose only apparent deisre in life is to remake the world in their admittedly intellectually infantile and emotionally engulfed image.
Well may we cry with sincerety, “God help us!”, because these useless clueless aimless self-sanctifying bastards will be the end of us.

People worldwide eat meat, including lamb. The legalities of shipping the animals is pure hype and yet another means to further damage Australia’s economy. Those “animal welfare” activists are a mix of some genuine animal lovers.. though misguided they may be.. and paid/bought self-serving political activists. Lobbying govt. to fulfill NWO, WEF, UN, elitist aims to dilute our society.!

STOPPING THE SHIPPING OF LIVESTOCK IS ALL PART OF THE AGENDA, THE WOKIST MOB WILL GET RID OF MOST MEAT IN AUS BUT WILL MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH LEFT FOR THEMSELVES AND SOME OF THIER BUDDIES.
Another tactic which they will likely use/ employ, is to claim that the so-called “Bird Flu’ is attacking/ killing/ destroying sheep, which is no doubt in the pipeline here in Australia.
They are *itching* to destroy the farming industry ASAP and thus our natural food supply.
Psycho Gates must be DESPERATE & will be so very pleased with himself, once they are able to force their GMO crap onto us, after they’ve destroyed most of our essential food supply etc.
Of course it’s only a matter of time before the order is given from higher up, that their FAKE viruses are attacking sheep, right here in Australia.
