New animal welfare crisis at sea?
The Suez canal is still blocked after seven days, concerns on livestock vessels waiting closeby.
Concerns over the fate of animals transported via the Suez canal, after the Ever Given - one of the largest container ships in the world - ran aground. The cargo vessel has not been removed yet, and it is blocking the canal causing the world’s largest maritime traffic jam north and south of the Suez Canal.
Eurogroup for Animals and its members are concerned over the impact this accident is likely to have on live trade. Indeed, it seems that at least 6 livestock vessels are currently blocked in the canal.
