Fresh footage of cattle slaughter at two Indonesian abattoirs, obtained by ABC TV’s Lateline program, shows serious and systematic breaches of the government’s new Export Supply Chain Assurance System, said Greens MP and animal welfare spokesperson Lee Rhiannon.
“Agriculture Minister Senator Joe Ludwig must immediately confirm whether Australian cattle are going through the Temur Petir and Cakung abattoirs in Jakarta and, if so, commit to applying the strongest sanctions to minimise the suffering and distress revealed last night”, Senator Rhiannon said.
“The footage that the ABC is screening shows evidence of clear-cut, multiple and serious breaches of the government’s new supply chain assurance system.
