Anybody read about this disaster?

Appears that a ship with a crew of 43 and a cargo of 5,800+ cattle on it is assumed to have gone down.

Saw that this morning on the net. Started to post and at the time did not have the time. With 5800 head of cattle on a ship I bet they were crammed tight headed to China.

The 133.6-meter-long (438 foot) ship, crewed by 39 Filipinos, two New Zealanders and two Australians, was sailing from Napier, New Zealand, to Tangshan, China, according to the authorities in Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

A young veterinarian from our state is one of them missing. Can't see them finding any more alive.

This is going to give the anti live export rat bags a bit of ammunition.
