Melbourne Rally to Ban Live Export is at Parliament House this Sunday, August 14, from 10.30 am.
Best to get the facts from someone who knows what they're talking about: Tony Ryan worked in the cattle industry and lived in the NT where he studied and reported on rural industries. This is what he has to say.
Check out the newly penned song, performed by The Black Spurs…
"It Ain't Right" – The Black Spurs
Herd them into ships, to sail the open seas
The lucky don't survive, the stress and disease
To feeding lots far and wide, on foreign sovereign ground
To take their final rest before the butcher's killing ground
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, animal rights
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, it ain’t right!
Slaughter box is open, leg ropes tied and bound
A mighty slap as the Brahman’s back, hits the concrete ground
One by one they follow, trembling in their stride
To face the blade of the butcher’s trade, conscious and alive
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, animal rights
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, it ain’t right!
The politicians argue, the experts disagree
Live export is no answer, let’s end the suffering
Let’s start to think it over, find a better way
Cause right is right and wrong is wrong stand up and voice a change
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, animal rights
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, it ain’t right!
I can’t say for you, but it's plain to me
It ain't right to mistreat life, cause pain and misery
We need to feed the world, every family
But not forget to show respect for all that lives and breathes
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, animal rights
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, it ain’t right!
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, animal rights
Live ban, live ban, live ban, live, it ain’t right!
