Cape Town hit by ‘unimaginable’ stench from 19,000 cattle on live export ship

Animal welfare groups say smell from the build-up of faeces and ammonia on the ship are indicative of the conditions animals endure

Authorities in Cape Town have launched an investigation after a foul stench swept over the South African city.

Officials inspected sewage facilities for leaks and an environmental health team was activated before the source of the smell was discovered: a ship docked in the harbour carrying 19,000 live cattle from Brazil to Iraq.

Zahid Badroodien, the official in the mayor’s office in charge of water and sanitation, wrote on social media that investigators had confirmed the source of the “sewage smell blanketing parts of the city” was the cattle ship.

Animal welfare groups said the “unimaginable” stench indicated the conditions the animals faced on the vessel, and criticised the practice of live exports.

The National Council of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said that it strongly opposed the export of live animals by sea and that it had sent a veterinary consultant aboard the ship to assess the animals’ welfare.

“This smell is indicative of the awful conditions the animals endure, having already spent two-and-a-half weeks onboard, with a buildup of faeces and ammonia,” the SPCA said in a statement. “The stench onboard is unimaginable, yet the animals face this every single day.”

The 190-metre long (623ft) Al Kuwait is a Kuwaiti-flagged livestock vessel, according to the Marine Traffic website. It docked in Cape Town to load feed for the cattle, according to the SPCA.

South Africa’s Democratic Alliance political party, which governs Cape Town, also condemned the transport of live cattle.

“Live export, as evidenced by this situation, exposes animals to perilous conditions such as dangerous levels of ammonia, rough seas, extreme heat stress, injuries, dirty environments, exhaustion, and even death,” the party said in a statement.

Earlier this month, a ship carrying more than 16,000 cattle and sheep also bound for the Middle East returned to Australia after becoming stranded at sea for nearly a month due to the attacks by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. Australia’s government refused an application to try again to re-export the animals via a longer route past South Africa, saying it was unable to be sure “the arrangements for the transport of the livestock to their final overseas destination are appropriate to ensure their health and welfare”.

Badroodien wrote that the ship was due to depart soon.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — What stinks?

Authorities in Cape Town launched an investigation Monday after a foul stench swept over the South African city.

City officials inspected sewage facilities for leaks and an environmental health team was activated before the source of the smell was discovered: a ship docked in the harbor carrying 19,000 live cattle from Brazil to Iraq.

Zahid Badroodien, the official in the mayor’s office in charge of water and sanitation, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that investigators had confirmed that the source of the “sewage smell blanketing parts of the city” was the cattle ship.

The ship was expected to leave Cape Town on Tuesday night, likely to the relief of residents who had an unpleasant start to their working week.

But the boat also became a target of serious criticism by animal welfare groups.

South Africa’s National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals sent a veterinary consultant onboard the ship to assess the welfare of the animals, it said, and found dead, diseased and injured cattle. Eight cows were humanely euthanized, the council said. It didn’t say how many cattle were found dead.

The SPCA council said it was strongly opposed to the export of live animals by sea and called the conditions on the ship “abhorrent” because of a buildup of cattle urine and feces during the journey. The animals had no option but to lie in their own excrement, it said.

“This smell is indicative of the awful conditions the animals endure, having already spent 2½ weeks onboard, with a buildup of feces and ammonia,” the council said in a statement. “The stench onboard is unimaginable, yet the animals face this every single day.”

In an update on the situation on Tuesday, the organization added “this incident serves as a stark reminder that the live export of animals by sea is a gruesome and outdated practice that inflicts unnecessary suffering on sentient beings.”

The 190-meter long (623 foot) Al Kuwait is a Kuwaiti-flagged livestock vessel, according to the Marine Traffic website. It docked in Cape Town to load feed for the cattle, the SPCA council said.

South Africa’s Democratic Alliance political party, which governs Cape Town, also condemned the transport of live cattle.

“Live export, as evidenced by this situation, exposes animals to perilous conditions such as dangerous levels of ammonia, rough seas, extreme heat stress, injuries, dirty environments, exhaustion, and even death,” the party said in a statement.

Earlier this month, a ship carrying more than 16,000 cattle and sheep also bound for the Middle East returned to Australia after becoming stranded at sea for nearly a month due to the attacks by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. That ship also came under scrutiny for cruelty but veterinarians found no significant health and welfare issues among the livestock.
