A) Should Australia export live cattle for slaughter?
Arguments for:
• Benefits the economy, supports thousands of Australian jobs and is helping to provide protein to some of the world’s poorest people across Asia and the Middle East. Australia’s beef cattle exports are wroth $1.35 billion and the sector employs more than 10,000 people, including many Indigenous Australians.
• Animal welfare conditions overseas would decline if Australian stopped exporting livestock. Australia is the only country in the world that actively works in overseas markets to improve animal welfare conditions. Approximately 95% of Australian cattle in Indonesia are now stunned pre-slaughter, up from less than 10% in 2011.
• Animal welfare conditions overseas

The practicality and variability associated with this profession will be intellectually challenging. However, I enjoy and am driven by challenging problems. Growing up, I noticed how our pets truly enhance our lives. They are an antidote for our loneliness, enrich our joys, and teach us about loyalty and love. Eventually, I became attracted towards medicine and animals. It wasn’t just because I’m interested in the health and welfare of animals, it was also able because I communicate well with people.
I am passionate about ensuring animal wellbeing, have a strong aptitude for scientific study (having chosen to study all three sciences; biology, physics and chemistry in high school) and am up to the challenge of dealing with all kinds of creatures, especially farm livestock and horses, companion animals and wildlife in rural and regional communities. The variety of animals I encountered at two local vets and at RDA Australia: a baby brushtail possum, wallaby, red-tailed black cockatoo, lorikeet, rabbit, dogs, cats and horses helped me determine where my interests lie. I am interested in everything from preventative care to psychological analysis and complex surgical procedures with emphasis placed on commitment to farm animal production to address the current shortage of rural veterinarians.
As a student of the veterinary science program at CSU will undergo specialist training in veterinary science and its associated disciplines, I can
Australia exports approximately over 1million cattle and 2million sheep live every year, although the number fluctuates due to environmental conditions, international disputes and currency change this is the main statistic. Not too recently World Animal Protection and Animals Australia released shocking videos revealing their undercover investigations overseas and the horrific abuse these animals suffer. Australian live export laws are in place to prevent the abuse and to protect these animals, yet once in other countries borders, these laws dissipate and play no part in the treatment of the livestock they spent so much money on raising and keeping healthy. A lot of these animals do not even survive the shipment only to then be shoved into boiling car trunks for
“ My first instinct when I see an animal is to say “Hello.” My first instinct when I see a person is to avoid eye contact and hope they will just go away.” I have always wanted to help animals since I was five. I felt that animals can’t help themselves and I could help. The career of a veterinary technician is a gross and rewarding, because of all the different experiences that one will receive on an everyday basis. The research will describe the career of veterinary technician, what is required to become a successful veterinary technician, and the impacts this career has on today 's society.
When I was young, I had great interest in animals. Since my pet bunny died because of lack of medicine, I discovered some problems in China, like disparity of animals’ health care, which changed my interest to determination of being a vet to solve poor animals’ health care issues. In addition to assisting current veterinarians, the special internship in pre-vet program provides students opportunities to learn how to run small veterinary hospital. To achieve my career goal to solve disparity problem, I planned to establish a private veterinary clinic providing comprehensive medical care for both exotic animals and companion animals. The special interdisciplinary internship opportunity can help me to better understand what ability a clinic owner should be equipped with. With the internship experience, I will gain an understanding of more specific academic goals for my four years of study.
For the duration of my entire life, I had habitually fantasized about what I could become, what all I could accomplish, and most predominantly, how I could enhance the world in my own way. Over the years I have come to terms with the fact a single person can surely not change the entire world. Thus, my goals shifted from changing the world to something I care about deeply and passionately, which is animals. Accordingly, I have decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. With these goals and aspirations in mind, Madison became my top choice to expedite my knowledge and someday allow me to accomplish these dreams. Madison not only has an exceptional and nationally recognized veterinary program, but it holds both a bustling city feel as
In Australia, millions of animals are dying in slaughter houses every year. 460-550 million chickens, 4-5 million pigs, 4 million bulls, 3 million cows, 700000-800000 calves, 5-7 million sheep and 17-19

Carly Jones English 10 Career Paper February 9th, 2015 Veterinarian I have always loved animals, especially dogs. My dog Bear is probably one of my best friends and I would do anything for him. I have wanted to become a Veterinarian ever since I was a little kid and we got our first dog Max. I would pull his tail and drive him crazy but, I loved him and loved sleeping in his kennel with him.
Australia is the biggest exporter of live animals in the world. I believe that the practice is not just unethical but completely pointless. Over a million live animals are exported out of Australia and into a life of cruelty and ---. But it is not just the conditions overseas that are unacceptable. The transportation is overcrowded and dangerous, and the whole thing is of very little value to the economy. Here are my reasons why.
I can’t wait to go to session two of EXPLO-VET. I’m certain that joining EXPLO-VET this summer is going to have a big advantage for me in the future. I believe this because, just by reading EXPLO-VET homepage and emails I could already tell this is going to be a fun and exciting educational summer experience. I’m very interested in this program because ever since I was young I always had a special love for animals. At school, I read books about veterinarians and was super exited when one came in on career day and she showed us the daily schedule of a busy veterinarians. I own 1 ferret and 1 dog but when I’m a vet I want to specialize in small animals. I’m interested in this program because I inspire to be a veterinarian when I grow up. I want
Whole chickens are very successful in Canadian culture and that is why, with the surplus of chickens, Canada should export whole chickens to Australia. The first reason is for why Canada should export chickens is because Australians love meat with a passion. For example, in 2014, an Australian census was conducted based on the annual consumption of meat. Australians, per person, on average consumed 90.21 kg worth of meat. In comparison, the U.S. consumed 90.04 kg of meat per person, See graph “An appetite for meat.”
I have always had an interest in animals, having grown up alongside multiple pets; they have always been a part of my life. However, it wasn't until our beloved family dog fell ill with cancer that I began to realise the huge impact that a vet can have on the lives of both animals and humans and, I too, wanted to be able to help the lives of not only animals, but also the people who love them. My desire to study veterinary science was reinforced during my first work experience at a small animal practice, Vets4Pets. I witnessed several operations, from spays and castrations, to multiple dental procedures and a tumour removal from a Labrador.

My academic preparation includes clinical rotations in Advanced Hospital, Pediatrics, Ambulatory Care, Acute Care Inpatient Adult Medicine, and Veterinary Pharmacy Practice. In the spring, I will also complete Rural Community, Advanced Community, and Geriatric s. The primary specialty fields that interest me currently are large animal internal medicine, as well as small animal primary
As a veterinarian,
Australia’s primary exports lie in natural resources and agricultural commodities (Siriwardana, 2015). The Australian beef industry is the sixth largest exporter in the world where average beef exports from Australia are approximately 1.3 million tonnes, amounting to approximately 65% of total beef production (Tozer and Marsh, 2012). In a global context, Australia is the sixth largest beef producer and the second largest beef exporter, therefore it would be most efficient for Australia to trade with other nations who produce and export beef less effectively (Meat & Livestock Australia, 2016).
I love animals and feel I would get satisfaction in this occupation. I can handle unpleasant and physically and emotionally demanding work. I would like to enter the job with a Ph.D.
