Live exports to Qatar cooked in situ 4100 sheep

 

In September of last year

it happened

4000sheep

on their way

to Qatar

to really hot temperature there

and of course in a hold

it is far

 

the stress level clearly enormous

the heat and the fear

it can be

terrible for them

that trauma

really it just should’t be

 

they came from the winter

in Oz and were shipped

into the summer and they

are anxious who wouldn’t be

its to their slaughter

on the streets probably right away

 

the fright in their hearts

must be awful

all 4000 must have

appeared

all packed together

despite the hot weather

it must have felt

really weird

 

as they Cooked in the hold of the

ship Bader 111

from Adelaide and Freemantle

they be

bound for Qatar

live exports   they were

real risky cargo

and it is now  no slur

but the farmers who shipped

them must have, thought a while

how would they travel

hardly in style

 

what would become of them

how would they fare

would they be alive

when they got there

reality proves the point

nobody cared

they didn’t have water

nobody shared

 

an interest a care

a thought maybe for

4000 sad souls in the hold

just ignore

forget how they died

in such awful stress

panting away

hoping for less

 

burning inside

as the air all but went

and Summerland beckoned

before they were spent

 

 

and who pays the price

who cared that they

perished in agony so far away

the insurance paid out

everyone got their dough

the farmers got paid

which just goes to show

 

 

nobody cares

no one at all

its all about money

thats right as a rule

the animals left town

to travel so far

across the salt sea

bound for qatar

 

4000 animals

carnage on a scale

unknown to mankind

so much did fail

man was unkind not a bit kind at all

dosed up on money

making a haul

compassion  there was none

empathy No

Australian Farmers

your out of the flow

 

Animals Australia

was on the case

those unfortunate sheep

full of lifefull of grace

were left in an airless place

and roasted alive

not even one of them

dared to survive

 

they all died together

possibly they

helped with the passing

on that fateful day

when man  un kind

proved what a shit he can be

when its money he’s making

shipped live soukls by sea
