Former live sheep exporter, Garry Robinson, has avoided jail despite his company’s role in the death of 22,000 sheep in Pakistan.
Robinson was charged in Western Australia after falsifying Commonwealth documents allowing the sheep to be imported into Pakistan.
Inspectors believed the sheep were diseased and the animals were then slaughtered and some buried alive.
The incident has lead to calls for the live animal export industry to be shut down with the Labor Party set to endorse a bill from Liberal MP Sussan Ley later this week.
