Terrible.
According to this report, it was 5,800 cattle.
How terrible, they wouldn't have stood a chance.
I thought exporting live animals had stopped?
I've not seen anything on the news about it, have you?

Live transport like this is barbaric to the last degree .
Totally agree Muddy.
Just found this on the Government website:
Fitness for travel
It is illegal to transport an animal that’s considered unfit for travel. This includes:
Very young animals, eg calves less than ten days old, pigs less than three weeks and lambs less than one week.
Calves less than 14 days old, for journeys over eight hours.
Cervine animals in velvet, ie deer with newly growing antlers.
Puppies and kittens less than eight weeks old, unless accompanied by their mother.
New-born mammals where the navel hasn’t completely healed.
Heavily pregnant females - where more than 90 per cent of the expected gestation period has passed - unless they are being transported for veterinary treatment.
Females who have given birth during the previous seven days.
Sick or injured animals where moving them would cause additional suffering, unless instructed by a vet.
Shorn sheep during cold weather - particularly November to March - see the page in this guide on transporting animals in extreme temperatures.
Unquote.
Time these regulations were re-thought and updated!

Re: Cattle ship overturns !!
When they arrive at the their terrible destinations they are manhandled cruelly.Some are just frowned off the ships and sold there and then and stuffed into people boots of cars.
They are slaughtered in the streets .
The rest - really you dont want to know how they are despatched .
Better they had drowned .
