"Australia was once the world’s largest exporter of live animals. But exports
have declined in recent years.
In May, the federal government announced live export of sheep by sea would end
on May 1 2028, in response to animal welfare concerns. This does not extend to
other livestock animals or modes of transport.
Despite 30 years of public scrutiny, the suffering of livestock at sea
continues. In our new research, we wanted to understand how the meat industry
manages to sustain the status quo.
We explored parts of the meat industry in Australia, Brazil and the United
States. We found a highly concentrated global industry, with close ties to
governments, a lack of regulatory oversight, and protective cultural norms. To
address these power imbalances, we propose a different approach to regulation."
