The NSW government has thrown its support behind the urgent development of mandatory electronic ID tags for millions of sheep and goats to ensure any outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease can be traced.Only Victoria has individual e-tags for sheep and goats
The NSW and federal governments had held out against individual sheep tags for more than six years, while He said it would need to be a national scheme "to ensure consistency and functionality across all states, and be developed hand in hand with industry to ensure it is practical and cost-effective".NSW has the largest number of sheep with over 21 million, Victoria has 17 million, and WA has 14 million.Mr Saunders said he would take the proposal to the meeting with all Australian agriculture ministers on Wednesday afternoon, July 20.
So sad to hear that a lot of animals will be affected 😢
Wtf. This has been compulsory for over a decade!
Oh, the reason I cannot give blood in Australia is because I was in the UK during the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, what would the rules be now🤷♂️
It appears politicians have mates who make tags.
Ear ear
Maybe this is a stupid question... but... why don't we vaccinate our livestock like other countries do?
Err no.
This is a joke right?
