That’s actually really sad. Reducing/banning live exports is a good thing. But surely the extra sheep could be processed and sold, it’s so wasteful when so many people would benefit from it either here or overseas. Also like many people I guess I’m a contributor, because I’ve been including more vegetarian meals in my diet. This is not a bad thing for people to be doing, but surely the industry could adjust in a less wasteful way? It just seems wrong.
