They said that if we are exporting live animals from Pakistan, the revenue we are getting against it is less in comparison if we process the meat and if we are sending it out, then the revenue we are getting against it is huge, there is a huge gap.
So they argued that it is better, we process the meat and export it, its price is also very good in the international market, so live animals should not be sent, a ban should be imposed on it, besides this, if we are sending processed meat so its by-products like hides, bones, blood, and fat are also beneficial.
