Paul Recher is correct. There is not, and has never been, any intention of live exports and nor has feral ever been an option. This is a farming proposition and the reason Australia is an attractive option is because of some of the issues raised in this article.
This is just the most disgusting thing I have read today. Are these people crazy and how can any government just close their eyes to the cruelty of this trade. How can they endorse it. It needs to be closed down. They need to piss off back to China.
R_BurtonBradley Biased reporting fails to mention benefits of removing feral donkeys from Oz landscape. No one is talking live export trade. Butchered in Oz = humane killing. Numbering 5 million, declared pest, due to their damage to vegetation and erosion of soil.
