Australian Livestock Exporters' Council CEO Mark Harvey-Sutton is calling for another inquiry into the live export industry. Animal rights campaigners accused the government of back-flipping on its promise to put animal rights ahead of live exports following the release of a policy discussion paper on Friday. Of the four proposals put forward to govern live sheep exports to the Middle East, only one included adopting new heat stress guidelines which were developed after disturbing footage of animals dying in transit was leaked last year. “We do think that there is a place for regulation in the industry, but it must be science-based and it must put animal welfare at the fore”, Mr Harvey-Sutton said.
