Chloe -

Dear little Chloe was one of the last lambs to arrive at Edgar’s Mission in the winter of 2005.  Short on warm coats to help maintain the young ones temperature, Chloe was seen to sport the latest fashion designed “sheepwear”, a sleeve from a red windcheater with two strategically placed holes for her front legs!  Quickly settling in Chloe has emerged as one of the friendliest sheep, seeking out human company for a pat, chin rub and cuddle. 

Never will this lamb have to suffer the trauma millions of other hapless sheep do as they endure long cramped sea voyages of several thousands of kilometres to far off lands with foreign climates and cultures.  There they are subject to a number of cruelties that would not be tolerated in this country.  Known as the live export trade it will go down as a black chapter in our history.  In 2006 Australia lays claim to the world’s largest exporter of live sheep, exporting around 4 million ‘Chloe’s’ each year to countries in the Middle East.
