    Happens ALL THE TIME! A livestock carrier loaded with cattle turned over alongside a pier at the Port of Vila do Conde in Barcarena, Brazil, reportedly killing thousands of cattle. According to local reports, the ship, the Lebanese-flagged Haidar, had just loaded approximately 5,000 cattle and was departing for Venezuela when the ship started taking on water and eventually capsized next to the pier. Photos and video of the scene show cattle scrambling up the side of the vessel and others swimming in the water. The beef producer Minerva SA is now saying thousands of cattle are thought to have perished in the incident, according to a Reuters report. The producer said that responsibility lies with the shipping agents, Williams Shipping Agents, the report said. The local port authority Companhia Docas do Pará is expected to launch an investigation into the incident. The 6,449 DWT MV Haider is one of six livestock carriers owned by Tamara Shipping, based in Lebanon. The ship was built in 1994.

    Happens ALL THE TIME!! Danny F II (originally Don Carlos) was a cargo ship built in 1975 as a car carrier. It was renamed Danny F II when rebuilt as a livestock transporter in 1994. The ship capsized and sank off Lebanon on 17 December 2009, carrying 83 people, 10,224 sheep, and 17,932 cattle.

    Such a shame but it’s a terrible accident it can’t be helped however live exporting of animals apart from endangered animals should be banned There’s a huge difference transporting animals by trailer than by boat across the sea for such long periods of time But this shouldn’t be an excuse to push forward wet wipe political ideas like go vegan
