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

This is totally irresponsible we need to update and be responsible to our livestock

No words for such horrendous decisions by all associated. How this could be allowed?

Animals require a t least the basics including shade/shelter, water and food regardless of what purpose they are in the sale yards.

This is inhuman. How can people do this to living beings and have a clear conscience? They can’t. May God forgive you.

Should be law to provide adequate shelter, especially in confinement.

Scrap the shade cover in Hargraves mall and use the money where its needed..

This is simply animal cruelty with no shade limited water and numbers squashed into holding pens. We can do better than this.

How can these appalling conditions be allowed? Absolutely inhumane. Those who allow it and promulgate it should be subject to the same conditions, and they would then soon find funds for shade and more room per head.

Where is the compassion & humanity?

Take extra duty of care in this extreme heat

Please provide appropriate shade and water for all creatures in these stock yards. It's appalling that they're treated like bits of plastic.

I’m so sad to hear again about the disgusting way people treat animals

Absolutely disgraceful!

Shade is a welfare issue

Please do not allow this inhuman practice to occur. These sheep will suffer greatly and some will die.

To think they are out in such heat is so wrong.

deplorable

This is absolute cruelty

Animal welfare appears to be at the bottom of the list for many councils and government agencies. Much to their shame.

Definitely need shade shelters for the animals and water available to all. Anything short of that is cruel. Best practices needed for animal welfare Bgo Council.
