This new film has been produced by the Jewish Vegetarians of North America. Although it deals with the environment and the treatment of animals from a Jewish perspective, most of the matters it deals with relate directly to us all. Running time is about one hour. The DVD can be obtained in Australia for free. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.veg-soc.org/cms/html/modules.php?name=Forums&amp;file=viewtopic&amp;t=125&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click here for details.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

<title>Live Animal Export Indefensible</title>
<link>http://veg-soc.org/cms/html/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=11</link>

&lt;strong&gt;Live Export. It's Just Cruel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Each year millions of Australian animals are transported across the world for slaughter.

Sheep sent to the Middle East by sea are crammed into pens holding around three sheep per square metre. They're terrified and will spend up to three weeks on the crowded ship. On the way they will suffer from stress, heat exhaustion and extreme temperatures. 

Many do not eat, are injured or suffer from disease. Tens of thousands will die on the way each year. Those which survive are regularly transported in car boots in extreme temperatures before being handled and slaughtered in the most barbaric way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Together we can stop this appalling journey of cruelty. Take action now. Click &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.handlewithcare.org.au/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

<description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.animalsaustralia.org/lucy_speaks/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s269/avs_2007_album/PigandChild-WEB.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Pig and Child&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The state of piggeries here in Australia is appalling. These highly intelligent animals are bred for consumption under horrific conditions. Animals Australia has an ongoing campaign to end this dreadful practice.
