840 sheep died on board of livestock carrier Ocean Drover
Group Anonymous for Animal Rights said that at least 840 sheep died on board of livestock carrier Ocean Drover while en route from Australia to Israel.
Some 42,000 sheep and 6,000 calves were loaded in Australia. Due to the engine problems, vessel spent some time near the Cocos Islands last week, fixing the problem, and then was delayed near the coast of Djibouti, before she began moving slowly again toward Israel. After the vessel stopped for repairs, it traveled at 70% of its normal speed, and a change in feed prompted by the extended voyage has been the main trigger for mortality, a statement from Wellard explained. According to AIS, in the morning Feb 15 vessel was sailing in Red sea at 12 knots speed.
