Are you saying this article is *why* they are shipped alive? Really, I don't think so, because they can slaughter the animals in the proper way in any place on the planet. The meat *we* eat here is slaughtered in the proper way (we get it from special stores) and the animals are slaughtered here in the US. So, what I'm saying is, if they slaughter the animals in the Muslim way IN Australia and then send the meat frozen, there's nothing wrong with that. I really can't comprehend why this would be a reason, because the animal doesn't have to be slaughtered in any particular country for it to be lawful to eat.

Unless, its against the law to have animals slaughtered in that way in Australia. Is it?
