Tonight's 7.30 Report on ABC1 (Thurs 2nd Dec) is scheduled to air a groundbreaking report on Animals Australia's recent Middle East investigation, exposing ongoing cruelty in the live animal export trade.
Animals Australia investigators have recently returned following our seventh investigation in the Middle East to document the treatment of Australian animals exported live for the Festival of Sacrifice.
Already images released during the investigation have prompted new calls to end the cruel live animal export trade. But tonight, the full story will be revealed as ABC's flagship current affairs program 7.30 Report airs never-before-seen investigation footage, bringing the stories suffered by Australian animals half a world away to the television screens of Australians who can demand better from their government.
Tonight you'll hear a first-hand account from Animals Australia's investigator Lyn White, as well as HRH Princess Alia of Jordan who is one of the many caring Muslims struggling to raise animal welfare standards in the region whilst countries like Australia continue to implicitly reinforce cruel practices by supplying animals to known abuses.
With a new Australian federal minister responsible for animal welfare, the timely exposure of this cruel trade to the Australian people is paramount. Please consider sending your thoughts on the story to minister Joe Ludwig after the program has aired. You will find details on our website after the show.
Please encourage friends, colleagues and family to watch 7.30 Report tonight.
