Australia Stops Livestock Trade With Egypt- Kennedi Mayes


Videos of cattle cruelty in Egypt were posted online. This led to investigations. Questions wondering why this footage was just only recently surfaced have risen. Also, Australia refuses to ship any more live animals until the holding conditions in Cairo are brought to the standards seen fit. All livestock trade between the two countries has halted and there is a current amount of 3,000 imported cattle in Cairo and Egypt has to manage the livestock it has.

Until the expectations for animal treatment have been met, Cairo won’t be receiving any more livestock from Australia. This is going to really hurt Cairo economically. I wonder how long it’s going to take for Cairo to get everything together. It’s sad that it takes something so drastic to get a country to check their morals.
