PRESS RELEASE 13/10/08
PRIEST BLESSES CATTLE BOUND FOR THE
MIDDLE EAST FROM AUSTRALIA
MAYHEM AT THE PORT OF FREMANTLE, WESTERN
AUSTRALIA, AS AN ORDAINED CATHOLIC PRIEST BLESSES
COUNTLESS CATTLE WITH HOLY WATER JUST BEFORE
BEING LOADED ONTO A LIVE EXPORT SHIP- THE ‘MAYSORA’
Mark Pearson, Executive Director Animal Liberation states:
“Today I am witnessing an extraordinary scene where a catholic priest, Father
Claude Mostowik, is blessing animals just before they are loaded onto a floating
concentration camp for animals – a live export vessel bound for the Middle East.
“I believe the courageous action of compassion for these animals, about to sail
into peril, demonstrated by this outstanding man, indeed a Christian man of authority and
respect, should send a message to our openly Christian Prime Minister, Kevin
Rudd, to take a credible stand against the inherent cruelty of the live export trade.
“It is time our government listened to the utter disgust over live export felt by
most Australians rather than be intimidated by a few greedy live export companies. If a
Christian priest has the courage to do what he can do to help these animals then Rudd
must stop turning a blind eye.”
