Amy Dyer is a self-described vegetarian, eco-conscious, left-wing voter from WA's south.

She is also in love with a sheep farmer.

"Reconciling the two is a continual journey," she told the ABC.

"I never thought for a million years I'd end up with a sheep farmer, but it works."

Now a post from Ms Dwyer sharing her thoughts on live export — a reality of the industry in which she works — has gone viral.

The debate around live export has been reignited recently after footage emerged showing almost 2,400 sheep dying from heat stress during a trip to the Middle East last year.

There are calls from both sides of politics to review live exports in Australia, leading many farmers to question the future of the trade.

"Ok time for me to address the elephant in the room ... live trade export," Ms Dyer wrote in a post on Wednesday, at first intended only for her family and friends.

"From an ethical, animal-centric point of view closing the Australian live trade would be a colossal balls up!"

She is concerned if Australia pulls out of the live export market, other countries with lower animal welfare standards will move to fill the gap.

"At my core (like most vegetarians or vegans) I would be happy to see the end of live trade one day; hell I would be happy to see the end of meat eating," she wrote.

"But realistically that's not going to happen, (not in our lifetime).

"Expecting the market for fresh meat overseas to suddenly stop is nonsensical ... supply will come from poorer less ethical countries ... and those animals will likely suffer a lot more than our sheep would have."

Instead of banning the trade she wants "better regulation and more stringent application of punishment to those breaking the rules".

A review into the industry, ordered by the Federal Government soon after the footage was released, has had most recommendations accepted by exporters.

However, animal welfare groups have labelled it not enough and want live trade banned, and have previously called on federal and state governments to contribute towards a farmer support package to phase out the industry.

The RSPCA and Animals Australia, the group responsible for the leaked footage, vowed to each contribute $500,000 towards the fund.

Unique perspective goes viral

Given Ms Dyer's unique perspective on the industry, a friend encouraged her to share her post.

Just two days after penning her thoughts it had been shared more than 1,500 times and "liked" by more than 2,000 users.

While comments ranged from agreeing with her to labelling her pro live export, most thank her for her perspective on the situation.

"There seems to be in this dialogue two extreme points of view," Ms Dyer said.

"But removing the emotions and your personal, cultural beliefs aside, the focus should be identifying what the core problems are that the live export trade is facing.

"I don't think any farmers that I know want to keep it in a state where animals are not being looked after.

"There's frustration because it seems that a few rotten eggs in the supply chain are destroying it for everyone."

She admitted the last paragraph in particular was a call to politicians, one that — while she said she may have worded differently had she known it would be so widely read — she stands by.

"Rather than close down agriculture as we know it in Australia and all the businesses that rely on farmers for their income; how about coming up with real workable solutions to the problem at hand?," she wrote.

"Let's be honest we know why you don't ... because unlike farmers you wouldn't know a hard years' work if it bit you on your high all-mighty asses!"
