  1. The need for better standards in the Australian livestock industry

    "In the European Union... all member countries follow the same regulations for animal transport. European rules generally allow shorter journey times and require animals on long trips to be fed and watered during transport.
    Reforms along these lines should be implemented in Australia. The standards and guidelines should be enforced regularly and in the same ways across all Australian states."

    "All stakeholders involved in the cattle and sheep production chain should also be trained on low stress handling, being able to recognise stress and fear in animals, and educated on the minimal welfare standards."

    "High-profile incidents, such as the truck fire in northern New South Wales, can also damage public trust in the livestock industry and weaken its “social licence” to operate." >>

  14. Beef cattle welfare:140 cattle, including 100 cows and 40 calves died of thirst

    "AACo spared investigation into cattle thirst deaths after reassuring regulators. Queensland's government ruled out investigating luxury beef giant AACo over mass deaths of its cattle from thirst, after receiving reassurances from the company that problems had been fixed."

    "The lack of investigation into deaths at the $700 million beef business has been slammed as "completely unacceptable" by a legal expert who argued industry had captured government regulators...The circumstances of this case are highly representative of a long-established pattern of passivity and industry capture [for the department] when dealing with the welfare of commercial farm animals."

  27. From someone called Fork Ranger (on that big-tech site that sounds like Flemish children TV).

    Fork Ranger: "This changed my perspective of Earth 🤯 The majority of people spend most of their lives in that little grey square.
    That is why most people underestimate the amount of space it requires to grow food.

    The big problem is that 83% of the farmland is used to produce only 17% of all calories and 38% of protein.

    With a few simple switches, we could drastically reduce the amount of land and bring back more nature, while also solving a lot of other problems.
    A few notes:
    1️⃣ We could reduce the red grasslands by more than half, just by skipping beef and mutton. In this scenario, there would still be beef from dairy cows.
    2️⃣ Shifting to a completely plant-based diet would require *less* cropland, not more.
    3️⃣ “But pastures should be counted as nature.”
    Perhaps some of it, but definitely not all. In Europe, a lot of grassland is ‘managed grassland’: a monoculture of rye grass and often even boosted with synthetic fertilizer. ..."
