Australian sheep unloaded in Pakistan

Australian-bred sheep denied port access in Bahrain over disease concerns are being unloaded in Pakistan. Bahraini and Australian officials held lengthy talks to get about 22,000 sheep off the Fremantle-based Wellard Rural Exports ship Ocean Drover, after concerns were raised about scabby mouth disease in a number of sheep. However, the talks broke down and the ship headed to Karachi, where it is now unloading the sheep for another buyer.
