A GISBORNE-based live cattle exporter has come out firing over the Government’s decision to ban the practice and has produced video evidence that disputes claims of shipboard animal cruelty. BeefGen director Patrick Lane says the Government has to reconsider the move in the interests of the national and regional economies. Live cattle exports from New Zealand will be banned from some time in 2023. BeefGen, which has its offices and live embryo and semen export facility in Glenroy Road at Whangara, has sent two live cattle shipments to China so far. The first shipment was in April last year during the Covid-19 lockdown when 3665 head were sent to China. Two animals died on the voyage. The second shipment of 3995 head went in January and no animals died. “We have our next shipment of 4100 head set to go in July and we are lining up a fourth shipment of 5700 for early September,” Mr Lane said. “The cattle have come from all around New Zealand, but in the second shipment, 1133 of the cattle came from this district. “Those Gisborne cattle were worth $1.387 million to the region’s farmers.” The live export trade from New Zealand to China was worth $500 million last year. Mr Lane said BeefGen was a New Zealand-based company handling live “As the video and pictures show, they’re GET THE FACTS: Long-time Whangara cattle breeder Patrick Lane (right) wants the cattle exports and germplasm export to together with other cattle in a big pen, Government to reconsider the live cattle export ban due to animal cruelty issues.

UK APOLOGISES FOR RACIAL INJUSTICE: British authorities apologised on Thursday after an investigation found that at least 161,000 mostly African and Indian military service personnel who died during World War 1 weren’t properly honoured due to “pervasive racism.” It said that number could possibly range up to 350,000. The investigation found that those service members were either not commemorated by name or weren’t commemorated at all, according to a report commissioned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Between 45,000 and 54,000 other casualties were “commemorated unequally.” “On behalf of the Commonwealth War Graves US sets aside Commission and the Government, both of the time and today, I want to apologise for the failures to live up to their founding principles all those years habitat critical ago and express deep regret that it has taken so long to rectify the situation,” Defence Secretary Ben for survival of Wallace said in the House of Commons. “Whilst we can’t change the past, we can make amends and rare songbird take action.” AP picture
