| Australia stops ship carrying livestock from sailing around Africa to Israel |
| 2024-02-05 |
| [Jpost] The Australian government said on Monday it had refused a request by a livestock exporter to send a ship carrying around 14,000 sheep and 1,500 cattle on a month-long voyage around Africa to Israel. The animals have been on board the vessel for a month, prompting outcry from animal rights advocates who have likened their treatment to torture. The MV Bahijah sailed from Australia for Israel on Jan. 5 but abandoned a passage through the Red Sea due to threat of attack by Yemen's Houthi militia and was ordered home by the Australian government. |
