"Live Export Ship Causes Stench in Cape Town, Residents Complain"

A ship carrying 19,000 live cattle from Brazil to Iraq caused a foul stench in Cape Town, South Africa, prompting an investigation by city officials. The ship, which became the source of the sewage smell, has drawn criticism from animal welfare groups, with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals expressing concern about the animals' conditions. The ship's docking in Cape Town has sparked condemnation from political parties, with the Democratic Alliance highlighting the perilous conditions faced by the animals during live export. This incident follows a recent case of a ship carrying thousands of cattle and sheep being stranded at sea, raising further scrutiny on the welfare of livestock during sea transport.
