Aussies go celebrity mad while they load ships with hundreds of
thousands of sheep taking cruel death trips. Harry offers to help
because he is probably a stupid drunk and will feel at home with cruel
Aussies.

The RSPCA has launched a caustic advertising campaign against the live
export of 57,000 sheep, now stranded on a ship in stifling conditions
in the Persian Gulf.
The animal welfare group today published a newspaper advertisement
which scathingly tells people how to cook up "a recipe for cruelty".
"Take 57,000 sheep and steam to over 40 degrees Celsius for 53 days,"
the advertisement says. "57,000 sheep have been experiencing a living
and dying hell onboard the Cormo Express. Nearly 4000 have already
died in agony."
The RSPCA calls on people to "express your outrage" and contact Prime
Minister John Howard and his Agriculture Minister Warren Truss and
local federal MPs to demand an end to the suffering.
The RSPCA claims almost 6000 sheep have died since the shipment left
Western Australia aboard the MV Cormo Express for Saudi Arabia seven
weeks ago.
The Government admitted yesterday it still did not know why the Saudis
had rejected the sheep five weeks |
