The authors examine the issue of the welfare of Australian livestock transported by sea. They comment on an article that confirms the existence of risks to the welfare of livestock caused by transporting them in ships. They analyze an accompanying editorial on the strengths of the Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock (ASEL). They also mention the opposition of the Australian government and industry to the removal of employment of veterinarians from the exporters.
