The awful conditions that cattle are kept in on ships

Every year, millions of cattle are transported by sea on large livestock ships. These poor animals endure terrible conditions during their journey, facing overcrowding, extreme temperatures, and inadequate food and water.

Many countries that import live cattle do not have strong regulations in place to protect the welfare of these animals. As a result, cattle are often cramped in tiny stalls, unable to move or lay down comfortably for hours on end. The lack of proper ventilation and high temperatures on these ships can also lead to heat stress and even death.

In addition, the long journey at sea can be incredibly stressful for cattle, causing them immense physical and psychological suffering. Many of these animals arrive at their destination in a weakened state, with some dying from exhaustion or dehydration.

It is crucial that we advocate for stronger regulations and better conditions for cattle being transported by sea. These sentient beings deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, even in the face of commercial interests.

Let us raise awareness about the awful conditions that cattle are kept in on ships and work towards finding more humane and sustainable alternatives for their transportation.
