Unhappy Around 900 Cattle Rejected For Export On Stranded Livestock Carrier To Be Killed

Around 900 Cattle Rejected For Export On Stranded Livestock Carrier To Be Killed

After months of delay and failed attempts a livestock cargo ship from Spain is headed for animal culling. The cargo ship Karim Allah had nearly 900 cattle onboard which was scheduled to be delivered to Turkey last year.

However, no country accepted livestock cargo in fear of disease outbreaks. So the ship returned to Spain and stayed there with the cattle. Now a vet inspecting the ship has informed the Spanish authorities that the cattle need to be killed.

They are no longer fit for export after being stranded in the Mediterranean sea for 2 months. Also rejected livestock is rarely accepted elsewhere.

895 cattle sailed for Turkey on December 18 onboard Karim Allah but the Turkish port authorities suspected that the cattle had a disease and refused the cargo. The ship then made a second attempt to disembark the cattle in Libya but there too it was rejected. Ultimately the ship returned to Cartagena Port.

The ship docked at Cartagena port on Thursday and there were a large hue and cry about the cattle being dead. The Spanish authorities then conducted an official inspection by Government veterinarians on Saturday.

The cattle were deemed unfit for return to Spain or any other country which made the Spanish agriculture ministry to decide on their fate. The ministry wants them to be killed without further delay while animal rights groups are up against it.

“This is yet another wake-up call to urgently end live export,” said the Eurogroup for Animals.

Personal note: This is not one of my favorite reports to post but its a shame that the cattle in this post are to be killed because they were not healthy for human consumption. But had they been healthy - the end result would've been the same.
-
Yet its inevitable that the food products we eat today requires the slaughter of many of these creatures - so that we can then process them - and sell them to all humans around the world. Is it humane? Lets face it we've been butchering animals on earth since our earliest evolution of mankind.
-
Of course there are still some places in the world where cannibalisms occurred. Makes my skin crawl to just think about that for lunch!
-
Most of us are meat eaters - and so it goes from raising our food sources then to later process them for food on the table.
-
In prehistoric times - it was man who was served up for the dinosaurs in our past.
-
Since we are not grazers - it seems that this will continue until those animals are no longer in existence.

Great subject - I would have to find that post on the web by accident.
