The Bendigo Livestock Exchange must provide shelter to all animals in its care

Absolutely Cruel !!!’nn

This is a no brainer.

I urge the City of Bendigo to provide shelter for livestock. They deserve to be treated humanly from the harsh weather whether it be extreme sun, rain, hail. They also deserve water as a bare minimum in the extreme heat. Surely it's the least you can do by providing these poor sentient beings who will be sold for food. If the roles were reversed, you would hope someone would show the same kindness.

These animals need care !

Animal cruelty is not on. You are doing the industry a disservice as more and more informed consumers are boycotting meat.

If there is no proper facilities then they should not be allowed to have the sale. Use a facility that has adhered to recommendations for the welfare of all.

Please have some compassion. Delay this till the cooler months.

Provide shade for all livestock and stop trading on extreme heat days.

Availability of water as well as shade is necessary roo.

This is absolutely disgraceful. I am sick and tired of the way animals get treated, especially in a country that likes to think it’s better than everyone else.

We, the undersigned, call on the council of the City of Greater Bendigo to recognize and acknowledge Agriculture Victoria's Sheep Shelter guidelines and abide by the recommendation that specifies the necessity for shelter during all weather conditions.

I sell my sheep there and will support your cover for the yards

How can humans be so heartless

This is barbaric its 2021 your still cruel to animals it needs to stop ..i would love to tie you up in a sheep pen in full sum and no food or water see how you like ...this is a disgrace

This is horrible. The fact we continue to use and abuse animals is disgusting, the least you can do is look after their welfare. It’s too hot and this should be cancelled.

Please provide shade for these animals

Stop the greed!! animals are living on this earth with us and deserve respect. Torturing farm animals and going home and cuddling your dog at night is twisted.

I live in Bendigo. Sustained heat exposure is unbearable for all anim als (human and other than human). Poor sheep! Sickening. Do something now.

We request that council engage an independent auditor to complete a compliance assessment report for the Bendigo Livestock Exchange. This report should focus on animal welfare concerns, workplace health and safety (WHS) and environmental impacts caused by this facility.

Disgusting, poor sheep they need shade and water.
