Bodies of dead cows found washed up in Canary Islands’ waters
Euro Weekly ^ | 2 APRIL 2019 | Sally Underwood

Bovine carcasses come from ships transporting cattle from South America The bovine bodies come from ships transporting cattle from South America which throw the corpses of animals overboard if they die during transit.

The cadavers may have been thrown from the Polaris 2, a cattle ship operating under a Panamanian flag...

Such a move “is prohibited by international law”, the general director of livestock...

In 2016, the Polaris 2 had to request to dock in the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife after it ran out of food for the animals.

A veterinary inspection also forced the slaughter of 300 cattle.

Major Owens saw this article and concluded they were chumming the sharks since slave ships were no longer a reliable source of food.

Most likely. But maybe they just fell overboard... happens on cruise ships all the time! /S

I don’t think anyone “just threw them overboard”. I could see them using winches/cranes to haul them up and out but the article makes it sounds as if a couple of guys just picked them up and hoisted them over the rail.

AOC probably heard they were farting, and had them killed.

Many people now days do not have any real concept of what it is like to handle farm animals, and I would expect that to go triply for journalists. Over the weekend, there was an interesting thread on an article about a stray “pet” pig, with the article focusing on how the pig was basically a member of the family, and barely mentioning that it weighed 400 pounds and probably was a little out of place in the city.

Agreed. We just sold off our steers this weekend I a was relieved that it didn’t take much wrangling unlike some we’ve had over the years.

I don’t believe sharks are carrion eaters.

since slave ships were no longer a reliable source of food.

But they must be on the old slave trade route.

Everyone knows the sharks still follow the old routes.

Real smart bunch, not carrying enough fodder for their cargo in 2016. What did they do, remove fed to make room for whatever they were smuggling ...did thy brea down and take longer than expected to transit...or were they just bad at math?

A million years from now some archaeologist is going to unearth a whole lot of cow bodies from some spot that used to be on the bottom of the sea, and come to all the wrong conclusions.
