[28]
Dr Ray Trewin notes that whilst New Zealand banned the live export of
cattle for slaughter some years ago, it still has significant exports of
breeding cattle. Dr Trewin also suggests that these cattle will end up being
slaughtered, either immediately following their transport because they do not
meet required conditions (eg. uninjured) or when they are worth more
slaughtered than being kept as breeders.
