"In JKT there is the largest privately owned abattoir that kills about 4 to 6000 heads a month. It is a well run facility that has no welfare issues. In addition it was working on getting a stun system in place well before the 4 corners report."
WORKING on getting a stun gun system in place??? Wonder how long this abattoir has been in operation.
"And we are already taking steps to improve the system and we have the ability to ensure all animals are stunned in a very short time."
Again.."HAVE THE ABILITY"...but haven't till now utilised this ability!
"Yes there are a couple of operators who in the short term will not be able to handle the new way. But they will be dropped, no commitment to stunning, no supply. No negotiation."
And again..."WILL be dropped"??? Why hadn't they been dropped already???
The MLA has had years to get the Indonesian industry using practices that the majority of Australians would deem acceptable. Fact is they haven't, so stop crying over spilt milk!!! They have no-one to blame but themselves. It is not the Governments fault they are in this mess it is their own. Four-corners did the right thing exposing this bloody mess. They have known what has been going on and have done nothing-the MLA stating that practices in Indonesia are good. Yes now they say we will do this/that/can be done in a short time.
If so, why haven't you bloody done it up till now??
