Rescue effort resumes for 14,000 sheep on sinking ship as noises heard inside
Guardian ^ | Mon 25 Nov 2019 | Bibi van der Zee

Attempts to save some of the 14,000 sheep trapped in a half-sunken boat in the Romanian port of Midia have been resumed, say activists at the scene, after sounds emerged from the ship indicating that some were still alive.

Campaigners are calling again for a ban on live exports from Europe to non-EU countries, after the Queen Hind capsized on Sunday, shortly after sailing out of port. Conflicting reports of the ship’s destination mean that at one point it was believed to have been headed to Libya, but the authorities have now confirmed that it was intended for Saudi Arabia.

This is a very cruel and tragic situation. I feel terrible for the terrified sheep struggling and then going under. The people responsible for this horrific overcrowding and poor handling of the sheep and the ship should be thrown into prison for a long time.

Not a a fan of vegans and other “animals are people too” types. But neither am I a fan of allowing gratuitous cruelty or causing unnecessary suffering on the part of animals. Those sheep that are still alive are likely hurt and or terrified. Rescue them or put them out of their misery.
