Cargo ship with 6000 cattle on board capsized

[Catherine]

A shipment of dairy cows was sailing from New Zealand to China. It encountered rough weather and some mechanical problems and it capsized. All that has been found are three crew members and some dead cows floating in the water.  Everyone else appears to be lost.
Not one cow has been found alive. The other 40 crew members are missing as well.

After a horrible voyage under poor conditions it is unthinkable what happened to 6000 cows. They had  no chance at all. When the ship went down, they went down. Too many times something like this has happened. Live transport of animals is an act of animal cruelty 

New Zealand has done the right thing. They have suspended live transport for now. Hopefully when they review the situation they will make the ban permanent. 
No more animals should die, trapped in pens on sinking ships.
