Black sheep in Pakistan-Australia trade ties

A delay in resolving amicably issues in import of Australian sheep, that were suspected to be infected, could hurt trade ties between Pakistan and Australia.

Meat merchant PK Meat and Food imported sheep from a livestock company, Wallard Rural Exports. A report leaked out to media suggesting import of infected animal cargo, rejected by Bahrain, led to public anxiety and the decision of culling by the authorities in Karachi, citing public health concerns.
