A bovine farmer would be prosecuted by the Department if the animals were not tagged and had not gone through the correct process. For the death of an animal, there is the knackery. All of these issues are very well thought out. We are not going to reinvent the wheel. The process regarding the movement of animals seems to work flawlessly for bovines. It is bizarre, to say the least, that this has not been sorted.
