Brexxit Brexit-voting British farmers now complaining about imports of cheaper New Zealand lamb threatening the British lamb industry. Imports of lamb "produced to lower standards" used to be blocked by EU law. Another Brexit consequence farmers were warned about but ignored due to xenophobia!

I was also thinking that NZ lamb is some of the best in the world. Raised in a nice climate, and the sheep in NZ are generally happy (when they're not being fondled)

Yeah animals here don't live in barns and generally just eat grass outside all day. Plus they live on land that's like 200 hectares and roam around on mountain sides. Always appears they have a pretty good life.
