Spain | Cartagena | Loading of suffering animals onto vessels (day 1)

Das Tiertransportschiff Amira Lola wird beladen.

In der prallen Sonne warten mehrere Tiertransporte auf die Verladung.

Ein sterbender Bulle liegt unter den stehenden Tieren.

Durstige Schafe lecken die Gitterstangen.

We observe how two gigantic empty ships: “Amira Lola” and “Freedom” arrive to the port. At the same time first trucks loaded with thousands of animals are arriving by the road to load the vessels. The animals on board of trucks are already exhausted, showing heat stress symptoms. Sadly, our team documents animals in agony that probably will die even before the journey by sea starts.
