Romanian Sheep Transporter Ship

 

Update 31/7/19 1600hrs GMT.

The vessel is currently under its own power movement in the Persian Gul; West of Kaki / Khormoj (Iran).
It is doing around 14.5 knots; and we do not expect any more stops before the vessel arrives in Kuwait, which is scheduled for 3/8.

Temperature currently 37 degrees, which is substantially higher than the maximum EU Regulations defined in 1/2005 for transporting animals; which EU member states should comply with when transporting animals. Romania IS a member state of the EU. As we have said for a very long time, EU rules in animal welfare mean absolutely nothing – they are worth less than the paper they are written on.

 

We would like to thank everyone who has expressed concerns (via our site) about this shipment, which we are pleased to be able to give you regular daily updates on.  Once the vessel has completed its arrival in Kuwait and we have the data recorded, then we can move on with our actions.  We need to get data on the completion of the shipment; as this then means we have data for the entire transport from Romania; which we consider is a good source of reference.

At the moment, we (WAV) are discussing the best ways to move forward in order that we bring this shipment to the attention of relevant people that matter.

The EU has basically closed down now for Summer holidays – lets hope MEP’s are not going to the Middle East by ship, as we would not want to see them standing in their own faeces and urine for long periods of time in such high temperatures – or would we ? – if this were the case, maybe they would actually do something about it.

Contacting Romanian government departments is currently being considered as another option.  More info to come about all this once we have fully tracked the entire shipment of this vessel back to Kuwait and thus have a full recored of the journey.

Regards Mark (WAV)

AL_SHUWAIKH another 3

 

Update – 30/7/19 1630hrs GMT.

 

The Al Shuwaikh which is destined for Kuwait on 3/8 has now departed Jebel Ali which is near to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

 

As it is currently underway using its own power and is travelling at 12.7 knots.

It arrived at the port at16-35 local time on 29/7.

 

We will track as always to see if she makes for Qatar or Bahrain before getting to Kuait.

 

 

 

Canada’s activists: “we are here to show the truth”!

 

 

On July 19, 2019, thirty Toronto Pig Save activists rushed into Fearmans slaughterhouse in the midst of a massive heatwave in Southern Ontario, Canada.

 

-Canada_flag

Upon arrival, the activists found dehydrated and exhausted pigs inside idling transport trucks and were there to bear witness to their suffering and offer water to the desperate pigs.

They also found a child being ordered to electrocute pigs off of the truck and into the slaughterhouse.

If these were dogs in the trucks, what would you do? It is true that these activists trespassed onto the grounds of the slaughterhouse and it is true pigs are seen as property by animal agriculture, but laws that protect unjust industries and exploit and cause unspeakable suffering to innocent animals deserve to be broken.

We are here to show the truth and to help end this injustice.

Farmed animals are one of the first victims of global warming. They suffer in the extreme heat in transport and the exhausted pigs are then killed. This is why we need to go beyond meat. Today’s heat was brought to you by meat!

The only way for this animal torture to stop is when we stop paying for it!!!

save the movementn

From my experience in participating by “Save the Movement” in my city:

Most truck drivers with the loaded pigs gas when they see the activists. The police, who only comply with their duty to attend, does not attack. From the slaughterhouse operator to the truck driver, the anger is great: “We have to work and you disturb the work process”!
Who drives pigs with electric shock in the truck and out of the truck, of course, has no inhibitions to run over people!

One thing is extremely embarrassing in this video: the loyalty testimony of the black employee in the slaughterhouse.
200 years ago, his ancestors lived as property slaves in a colonized African country.
They were dehumanized and treated as hand goods.

parallele Sklaverei Tier mensch_n

Today, he serves a slaughterhouse operation for 10 euros an hour and believes he belongs to the ruling class, and therefore violently treats activists.
Other rights in this slaughterhouse does not know this black man.
Except to beat animal rights activists fighting for the liberation of animal slaves.

What other activists did 150 years ago for the liberation of human slaves.

My best regards, Venus

 

Fight the Good Fight For Animals in Transport.

Want to hear a story about the EU ?

The European Commission should actually be paying us to do the job of being EU inspectors. But desperation is not in our vocabulary, so we work independently. We have been doing this blog since the first day (15/7) of the shipment from Romania, and only with the modest resources that we have available.

It is illegal and ethically unacceptable for a ship with 70,000 live sheep to be at sea since 15 July.

Primarily the biggest disgrace was that no one was able to forbid the ship to depart in the first place.

Commissioner Andriukaitis (below) has failed.

vytenis-andriukaitis-75902633

EU countries, as member states, should be forced (policed) to comply with EU animal transport regulations. EU Regulations (1/20005) stipulate that animals can be transported in heat only as long as the temperature in the vehicles does not exceed 30 ° C (with 5 ° C tolerance upwards).

This is stipulated by the Regulation for animal transports over 8 hours journey time.

AL_SHUWAIKH another 3

The ‘Al Shuwaikh’ is on the sea since July 15 with 70,000 Romanian sheep.

It has previously docked in Jeddah; and today (29/7) in Jebel Ali which is located in United Arab Emirates.

How many animals are still being carried ? – are they all offloaded at previous ports or are some still aboard and alive ?, what has become of the bodies of those who have died painfully in the past?

Should we wait until they are sighted by tourists and share the beach of Tenerife?

Image result for sheep suffering in transport

Is not it to be feared that half of the sheep are already dead when they drive around the sea for two full weeks at a temperature of over 40 degrees?

And is not it shameful that none of our highly paid EU Commissioners are worried, how are the sheep going to be disposed of?

Disrespect! Not only towards animals, but also towards the environment, against the law, which is designed by the EU itself to keep everything correct and in check !!.

 

We at WAV / SAV reported about it.

We were among the 70,000 living beings in this way, that was the least we could do for them, we could not do anything else.

Now we are talking with other animal organisations to approach future campaigns against actions such as this.

In the future, we will often take to the streets.

We are fed up with corruption, indifference, the cheating of people and animals by non-compliant governments and EU oligarchs.

We are many who want to abolish mass animal husbandry and torturous animal transports.

And we will fight hard and consistent for our Animal Companions.

Regards – Mark and Venus.

 

Oman: Mega dairy farm in the desert

 

On the Arabian Peninsula, the Omani Sultanate is creating a mega-dairy farm where around 25,000 cows produce around one million liters of milk a day. The plant is managed by the Mazoon Dairy Company.

The giant farm is scheduled to go into operation in the next three months.

“In the first phase, we will start producing 350,000 liters of milk a day,” said Saleh Al Shanfari, managing director of the Oman Food Investment Holding Company (OFIHC) on the “Times of Oman”.

The farm is designed for the management of 25,000 cows. “At present we have around 4,000, mainly from Australia imported dairy cows in the farm, but the herd is growing,” said Al Shanfari.

By 2030, a total of 365 million liters per year (or 1 million liters of milk per day) are to be produced.

Objective of the XXL farm: reduce milk imports

In addition to the cowsheds, a dairy, a sales and logistics center, a biogas plant and a field with solar panels are to be built.

According to Al Shanfari, milk production has already started as a test phase. At the same time, excess milk is exported and sold locally to large milk producers.

With the XXL farm, Oman wants to set up its own dairy industry to reduce dependence on imported dairy products.

My comment: First of all, some important information about the milk.
Animal protein, especially that from the milk, is a very good promoter of cancer growth.This has been proven in studies.

Professor T. Colin Campell examined this as part of his China Study, which was funded by US and Chinese taxpayers, and stated, “Which protein turned out to be carcinogenic? Casein, which accounts for 87% of the bread contained in cow’s milk, promotes all stages of cancer growth.

But it gets worse: according to a study by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health, 92% of the toxic substances in the diet (dioxins and PCBs) come from animal products.
The largest individual supplier of toxins is milk with 47%.

Of course, the average citizen does not know that the milk contains a variety of different hormones (growth hormones, sex hormones, etc.) that are otherwise available only on prescription in the pharmacy due to their health risks.

Cow’s milk is used biologically to breed a calf within a very short time.
However, when this hormone cocktail encounters an organism such as a human, which is not destined for this effect, the entire pattern of a chronic, often deadly disease becomes understandable.

The result is: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer’s, strokes …

Today we know a lot about the relationship between diet and health.
But true science is deliberately buried under harmful information, which are produced by the propaganda of the meat and milk mafia.
Because, in the state committees around the world, which set the official dietary recommendations, the members are mainly representatives of the animal industry (Dr. med. Ernst Walter Henrich)

Position Update – Romanian Livestock Carrier -28/7/19.

AL_SHUWAIKH another 3

 

Update: 28/7/19 1140hrs GMT.

 

The Al Shuwaikh is now in the Gulf of Oman; to the North East of Muscat city in Oman.

As you can see from the map, Kuwait is located much further up the gulf.

gulf map

 

The vessel is due to arrive in Kuwait on 3/8/19.

 

Will soon be sailing the ‘Straits of Hormuz’, which as all news watchers will know, has been a problem area over the last few weeks for oil carrier shipping.

 

 

Update: 26/7/19 2000hrs GMT for Romanian Sheep Livestock Carrier ‘Al Shuwaikh’.

AL_SHUWAIKH another 4

 

Update: 26/7/19 2000hrs GMT.

 

The Al Shuwaikh may be trying to change its identity from that of ‘Livestock vessel’ to that of a ‘Cargo Vessel’.  To make tracking more difficult we ask ?

It is currently positioned in the Gulf of Aden, SE of the city of Aden.

 

Things we do know (but have inserted ‘x’ at some positions – we know full details):

The ETA for Kuwait has now changed from 2/8 to 3/8.

IMO – this is an International Maritime Organisation unique number – 850’xx’61 for this vessel.

MMSI – Maritime Mobile Service Identity – 447’xx’00’xx’ for this vessel.

Call Sign – a unique alphanumeric identity for the vessel – 9K’xx’ for this vessel.

 

Regardless of the (possible) identity change to try and confuse us, there are many ways of monitoring the constant position of this vessel; especially as we know the above. As we showed earlier; you can run but you cannot hide.
