#1 BAN LIVE EXPORTS - EDMONTON EDITION

Why 14th June? The date of 14 June has been chosen not to forget the live export tragedy that occurred the same day of 2015 when 13,000 sheep lost their lives during a long sea journey. These sheep had been loaded onto the Trust1 cargo ship in Romania, initially they were taken to Jordan where it was reported that over 5,000 sheep had died from dehydration, starvation and exhaustion. The Trust1 eventually set sail again – attempting, unsuccessfully, to dock at numerous ports over the next two weeks. By the 14 June the Trust1 finally docked in Somalia, by this point all 13,000 of the sheep had lost their lives.
