Cargo ship with 6000 cattle on board capsized

[Catherine]

Quote:NZ has a female PM, who is a pretty compassionate sort of lady. Let's hope she will push for the ban to become permanent.

She is amazing. Every situation she responds to, she does the compassionate thing.
I think it is clear that live animal transport is  cruel. When animals travel by ship there are so many things that can go wrong. Far too many animals die horribly.
I think we can hope for better days and a ban on live animal transport. None of us want to hear about hundreds, even thousands of animals  drowning while in transit.

Some day their needs to be a global ban on shipping animals. It would help if New Zealand passed a ban. Other countries would follow in time.
