Sheep contamination is 'eco terror'

News.com.au:
THE alleged contamination of feed for 70,000 Middle East-bound sheep was economic terrorism, a federal government backbencher said today.

David Hawker, whose electorate of Wannon takes in the port of Portland where the sheep are being held, said Australia's export industries were being threatened by the action.

Animal Liberation claims to have used pig meal to contaminate food and water supplies for the sheep.

Contamination would mean the sheep would not be fit for human consumption and were likely to be destroyed because of disease fears.
