Well, our press release went something like this:
GRAPHIC PETA AD CONDEMNING LIVE-SHEEP EXPORTS LANDS ON PAGES OF LLOYD'S LIST
Group Uses Leading Shipping Journal to Make the Point That Sheep Are 'Marinated' in Bodily Waste by the Time They Reach the Middle East
Which was all well and good, until, just hours before the print deadline, someone over at Lloyd's List freaked. I guess sometimes the truth just isn't good for business, and the magazine decided that they'd prefer to keep their readers in the dark about the gruesome fate suffered by millions of sheep exported from Australia to the Middle East for slaughter. Best just to sweep this one under the rug, right, Lloyd's List?
The ad in question is below, along with a video narrated by Pink about the horrific conditions that these animals have to endure en route to a cruel death in countries that have never even heard of animal welfare standards. If you'd like to help put a stop to this, you can write to the Australian Prime Minister here.
