From Australia, first shipment of live cattle due in port today

The Kingdom’s first shipment of live Australian cattle is due to arrive in port this morning, and the Brahman cows will be swiftly herded to the country’s first industrial abattoir in Preah Sihanoukville province.

The 2,766 heads of cattle - which left Brisbane, Australia, on June 12 – are set to arrive at 6am at Sihanoukville Autonomous Port and expected to reach the 11,000-square-metre SLN Meat Supply factory four hours later.

However, the cattle will not be immediately processed, according to company spokesman Im Vannarith. Instead, they will be given five days to acclimatise. Then they will be slaughtered, with the meat put in a freezer – though not frozen – and distributed to the local market.

Lets hope the Cambodians know how to humanly slaughter these animals.

Apparently, in neighboring Vietnam, they have been killing these cattle by bashing their heads in with sledgehammers.

Why hasn't these animals been quarantined for 30 days. They could be infected like Johnny Depps dogs.

Urg... Horrific... And here was my thought being that they would be the lucky ones to escape death by halal execution.

you got that the wrong way round, mate.

there are no quarantine requiring cattle diseases in oz - unless some dumbf..k like johnny illegally imports them in the intestines of his muts.

and it's 'haven't', plural.

Why Brahma? Not good for anything except surviving where other cattle can't. Ground meat at best. Oh forgot, good for rodeo.
