What do you believe are other alternatives instead of the exporting of live animals to Middle Eastern countries? -More than one option is allowed-

If Australia implemented more abattoirs, the animals could be killed here humanly, by stunning them asleep as oppose to brutually killing them.

If the animals were killed humanly in Australia in our abattoirs than they would not die of a distressing and prolonged death.

If the animals were killed in Australia than the cost of transporting our meat to Middle eastern countries would be cheaper and because it is frozen the shelf life would be longer.

If more abattoirs opened in Australia and the animals were killed here, the farmers who live in the rurual areas would keep their jobs and even more employment would be offered to those who are interested in this field of area.

I am unsure of all the alternatives listed above.
