All cattle to be slaughtered

On March 21, the Spanish government ordered the slaughter of 1,610 cattle which have been stuck aboard the 'Elbeik' since December 2020. The agriculture ministry said the animals were unfit for further travel and could not be re-imported into the European Union, meaning they must be isolated and killed in the coming days. A report by government veterinarians uploaded to animal-rights group Igualdad Animal’s website said 179 cows on the 'Elbeik' had died during the journey and were thrown overboard. Several of the remaining animals were malnourished and dehydrated, while some were barely conscious after being crammed into unsanitary pens without room to lie down.
