Meat consumers are increasingly interested in livestock production practices. There is tension between the desire to consume meat and wanting to make âethicalâ food choices. In 2015 and 2016, 66 meat consumers from Australia participated in focus groups and interviews, structured around topics such as on-farm welfare and meat purchasing decisions. While exploring how Australian meat consumers conceptualise animal welfare, the transportation and slaughter of sheep and beef cattle were highlighted as key areas of concern, including road transport and shipping conditions related to live export. Many participants held strong, negative opinions about the conditions under which Australian livestock are slaughtered overseas.
