"""The ones departing the European country are likely carrying sheep, which Saudi Arabia purchases so that the animals can be slaughtered according to religious preferences."""

Having visited Darwin and Perth Australia many times the common site in the harbor are the Livestock Express ships who are hauling live animals to the Middle East.

It makes no economic sense to transport live animals. But given the Muslim dictate of Halal, they subject the animals to such a voyage.

When I was on a voyage to the Middle East I was told about these ships. Animals die enroute and are tossed overboard. Sharks feed on the carcasses.

I met a guy from TX that had three huge feeder lots and also shipped cattle over seas.

I guess he quit doing that because of the loss of cattle aboard during the trip.

The GD crew wouldnt look after them properly. They wouldnt get fresh water to them like they should.

What they did with the dead animals I do not know.

Thousands of animals packed tight in ship hulls

Two of each kind?

Let them all swim to shore and the ship may just become unstuck.

I wonder if any people are being smuggled in any of the containers?
