Australian sheep tested positive for E

Naaaaa, Brit, I'm just a cheap bastarad. NZ lamb = quality and is priced accordingly.

A Kiwi buying Oz Lamb. Surely another sign of the world ending :O(

Yasir, it sounds like you have a little more than food on your plate. Relax a little, take a deep breath. Life is not supposed to be so serious. This is a public forum and nothing to cry about...you big baby.

Ohhh.... this was for humor "I was also interested in how these sheep got here and how they were slaughtered. So I did some quick researching. I wish I hadn't. Many times the poor sheep die before they reach the Middle-East due to extreme heat and no water. I think that leg I bought was from a dead sheep. Probably had scabby mouth disease, too. Eww, what a horrible name for a disease 'scabby mouth disease'.", you really have a strange taste for it.

Besides, what I am eating from my plate is really important for me.

Someone has their knickers in a knot.

Humour is completely lost on some people.

Now, you have totally changed the topic. I did not argue with you on this point.

Do not make statements which you can not prove and do not change topics when you do not have answer to something.

Yasir, Qatar just purchased 46,000 sheep with scabby mouth disease, knowing that it is dangerous to consume. It will be sold to vendors so that it can go on our dinner tables. This is the concern.

I have provided proof enough for my point to be made. You on the other hand assume and without providing a shred of evidence. Where are your sources? Where is your proof that this does not happen? People are hardly going to advertise the fact that the sheep were dead when they were dragged off the boat and then sold. What ever you are talking about is off topic.

Ohh... So, when you purchased that leg from lulu you were initially thinking that it is alive and later you thought that it was from dead sheep "I think that leg I bought was from a dead sheep." ... :D ...

So, lets make this clear... When you bought that leg from Lulu, you wanted them to cut it from live sheep but they did not??? :D... please elaborate ... its getting interesting ... :)

On the serious side, a lot of live stocks die while transportation... there is no argument about that ... I need proof from you, as you are claiming it, that those already dead (not slaughtered) & rotten animals reach our dinner table. if you have the proof, then bring it forward, otherwise there is no argument here.

Is scabby mouth disease caused by Aussie men in green wellies ?

so wat we see mooing and jumping around in Mawashi (Livestock) are all dead sheeps or ghosts ? :(

You don't get out much, do you Yasir?

1. Most people eat dead animals. If your preference is to eat animals while they are still alive, then that is your business. I do not need a reference source for this as it is evident in every supermarket. You might shop at a pet store for your dinner, but most of us choose to eat animals that are dead.

2. It is not a secret that livestock die in transportation while being shipped to other countries - especially the Middle-East due to the extreme temperatures.

If you wish to dispute the 2 facts that:

A, We eat dead animals

and

B, Animals die during the transportation process.

You can argue with someone else.

I bought a leg of Oz lamb once and it had wool and little round bits of sheep poo all through it. Never again. Standards LuLu, standards.

I was also interested in how these sheep got here and how they were slaughtered. So I did some quick researching. I wish I hadn't. Many times the poor sheep die before they reach the Middle-East due to extreme heat and no water. I think that leg I bought was from a dead sheep. Probably had scabby mouth disease, too. Eww, what a horrible name for a disease 'scabby mouth disease'.

Could you imagine going to the doctor, and telling the nurses you had scabby mouth disease.

Imagine going on a first date and having to explain away your scabby mouth disease.

I wonder who the imaginative person was who came up with that name.

And by the way, OP. That title is misleading. I thought all the sheep were on the drug 'E'.

@Kiwi: And your source for this please "of course we eat dead animals, but when they die half way to the Middle-East, they are rancid by the time they get here." This is a far fetched lie ...

Besides, we all know very well when the meat is rancid, can not take your words for that !!

Rizks is very right, there is a huge difference between Autralian and Paki meat.

You are hypothetically implying a lot of things here. In Pakistan, they are burying those sheeps and not putting up for sale :)

Yasir Kh - of course we eat dead animals, but when they die half way to the Middle-East, they are rancid by the time they get here.

What do you think they are going to do with the Pakistan scabby-mouthed creatures after they are culled? Yep, send them to Qatar and slap a sticker on the that reads 'Pakistan lamb'.

Stay safe, be a cannibal

a chicken and fish person as far as my carnivore desires go..far more healthier and no scabby mouth diseases caused among other things.

Dunno Rizks, but the worst part (for us) is that a heap of those sheep were dumped off in Qatar and were accepted by authorities.

"Qatar maintains that the live sheep it purchased from the same shipment rejected by Bahrain for being infected with scabby mouth disease is safe to eat, media reports state. Drover had set sail for the Middle East in early August and offloaded some 46,000 sheep into Qatar" http://dohanews.co/post/30923044688/qatar-live-sheep-purchased-from-same-shipment-rejected

"Citing international reports, Mr Shah said the animals were also infected with an exotic (parapox) virus which caused the disease.

“That means these animals are a grave risk to public health, and don't have the lab facilities required to detect it.

According to the centre’s report, the oral swabs were found positive for highly contagious actinomyces which is responsible for causing lumpy jaw disease in sheep.

E. coli and salmonella bacteria may cause food poisoning and dysentery in humans if meat of infected animals is consumed.

“The spread of new viruses is a major health hazard across the world which is why developed countries have stringent rules and regulations to protect their environment,” http://dawn.com/2012/09/17/second-lab-report-confirms-virus-bacteria-infection-imported-sheep-being-culled/

Clearly Qatar thinks it's OK to eat scabby mouth disease sheep when other nations don't. Oz lamb anyone?

then how come there isnt much FAT in Pakistani sheeps like in Australian sheeps and the meat also doenst smell much like it does in Aussy sheeps ?

@kiwiinqatar: So, you are saying we do eat dead goat here in Qatar? come on.... where is your proof?

Even if it is true, Thanks God I only eat Pakistani beef & mutton. Cuz they do not bring live stock here. They are preslaughterd in Pakistan. India is also the same.

The sheeps that Bahrain refused were imported by some one (private organization) in Pakistan.

Here is the best part... Issue was raised up to authorities and after confirmation of the disease, they have started to dispose them off and will not supply them to the market.

to veg folks ..

or go Vegan....
