A ship carrying 15,000 live sheep has overturned in the Black Sea, near Romania. It was on its way to Saudi Arabia so the sheep were bound for slaughter, sadly. However now they are trapped in a ship that is in danger and listing badly. Thirty two sheep have been rescued so far.

This is part of the ongoing problem of live shipping of animals. There are 15,000 sheep crammed in a ship. They could not have been well cared for and now they cannot be easily rescued.
This is a more recent article and you can see the ship is further over.

This is the most recent article I found and you can see many dead sheep in the water.

There is no way to rescue sheep or any other live animal from these over crowded ships.
Live animal transport is not working. It is certainly not working for the animals.
