What stinks?
Authorities in Cape Town launched an investigation Monday after a foul stench swept over the South African city.
City officials inspected sewage facilities for leaks and an environmental health team was activated before the source of the smell was discovered: a ship docked in the harbor carrying 19,000 live cattle from Brazil to Iraq.
Zahid Badroodien, the official in the mayor’s office in charge of water and sanitation, wrote on the social media site X, formerly Twitter, that investigators had confirmed that the source of the “sewage smell blanketing parts of the city” was the cattle ship.
Jesus Christ I can’t imagine the conditions on that ship
Probably pretty shitty.
Live transport of animals at sea really ought to be banned outright.
Local production is so much better for cattle. Produce locally, consume locally.
Literal bullshit. Who would have thought?
Assuming it’s the same ship, this was originally headed through the red sea. Due to the conflict in the middle east they had to take a significantly longer route around Africa after an already lengthy delay. They had no intentions of keeping the animals on board for as long as they did.
Am I the only one that finds it amusing that an entire city all stopped collectively, sniffed around, and went “tf is that smell??”
Wouldn’t happen in a vegan world.
One day we will look back at our treatment of animals as one of humanity’s biggest mistakes
I sure hope so buddy
Long way’s off though. This community is probably the most progressive one on the english speaking internet, and even they downvote people preaching veganism.
IMO, you should only be eating meat if you kill it yourself.
Wouldn’t happen in WaterWorld.
