Animals Australia conducted an investigation of the treatment of exported Australian cattle in Asia, animals had their throats cut while fully conscious and sparked mass protests across Australia.
Their investigations into the export of Australian cattle to Indonesia in 2011, which showed animals being subjected to eye-gouging, tail-breaking, multiple throat cuts, "roping slaughter" and incorrect use of slaughter restraint boxes, led to a temporary suspension of the trade to Indonesia and the implementation of industry-wide Supply Chain Assurance Standards, monitored by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Animals Australia's investigations in the Middle East in 2006 resulted in the first suspension of the live export trade and a benchmark prosecution of a live export company for cruelty.
