400 sheep pronounced dead- moosemist


- 400 sheep were pronounced dead in a vehicle accident in Australia. The two tier truck carrying the sheep overturned in wet conditions near Corowa. 300 were instantly killed, were 100 were too injured and had to be put down, only 50 sheep survived. Animal rights activists on Tuesday repeated their call for an end to long distance transportation of livestock for slaughter.

Do you think that there is any solution to keep from accidents, such as these from occuring?

Do you think that this "accident" could be the result of aboriginal witchcraft?

I don't know about a possible prevention of these accidents, as the road can't be stopped from being rained on.
However, Aboriginal witchcraft is a nasty one, and that is definitely a possible cause of this

To channel Mr. Thomas and Mr. Oberle for a minute, maybe the guy was just a baaaad driver.  I'm sure he's feeling a little sheepish about the whole thing :)

I just think this was a bad accident. I don't know, I would be pretty nervous transporting 400 sheep in wet conditions. poor sheep.

There's mutton wrong with making a mistake every now and then. However, if it kills other beings he should definatley be in sheeps of trouble.

Why does it matter if they at transported a long distance if their death is inevitable? I would think activists would like the fact that they won't be eaten now, but I guess they just look for a reason to be upset.

Accidents happen, I do not really think that there is any way
of preventing them except maybe being a better driver.

well there are just some things you cant prevent but they could always just be more careful while driving, and drive less animals at a time, 300 is kind of alot!
