*[Enwl-eng] These 15,000 sheep died a panicked, watery death

[ENWL]

            Almost 15,000 sheep drowned on the way to a slaughterhouse. The 
EU must ban live animal exports!

                  Struggling to stay afloat, they had no chance. Locked 
inside a ship that had overturned, their thick coats became waterlogged as 
the water crashed in from all sides. As they slowly drowned, they screamed 
for help, their legs dangling from their now-toppled enclosures. This was 
the fate that recently befell nearly 15,000 sheep, en route from Romania to 
Saudia Arabia. Their original end destination: the slaughterhouse.

                  While not all of the sheep drowned, the story doesn't get 
happier. Rescue crews managed to "save" 32 of the animals, or approximately 
0.002% of the herd — only to send them straight to slaughter anyway. Other 
countries and regions are banning these types of exports due to the extreme 
inhumanity of it all. Australia briefly banned live animal exports to the 
Middle East after a video that showed sheep dying agonizing deaths due to 
extreme heat aboard ships. It's time for the European Union to step up to 
the plate. There is only one way to ensure no more animals meet such grim, 
terror-filled deaths. Sign the petition and tell the EU to do the right 
thing and ban all live animal exports to non-EU countries!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                  P.S. They were trapped, scared, and helpless as the water 
rushed in. This was the "Titanic of sheep", and it must wake us up. Tell the 
EU to ban all live animal exports to countries outside of the EU!
