AUSTRALIAN WELFARE GROUPS are demanding the release of thousands of sheep and cattle stuck aboard a ship after their trip to the Middle East was diverted by Yemen’s Huthi rebel attacks in the Red Sea.

The livestock – reportedly more than 15,000 animals, mostly sheep – have spent about four weeks aboard the MV Bahijah since setting sail from Fremantle, Perth in Western Australia on 5 January.

The ship abandoned its plan to voyage through the Red Sea because of the “worsening security situation” there and was directed to return to Australia, the Department of Agriculture said in a statement.

It docked back in Fremantle yesterday after reaching the Western Australian coast earlier in the week.

Humanely (insofar as it’s possible) slaughtered and packaged and refrigerated. These are just floating cesspools of disease with animals forced to endure horrific conditions. Worse so, when things go wrong like this. 15,000 sheep have been shitting in the same spot for a month in 30 to 35 degree heat.
