While most rational and reasonable people were concerned about the safety of the 43 people onboard – including two New Zealanders – the nut jobs at anti-farming group SAFE decided to cash in the tragedy to promote their opposition to live exports.
All they could go on about was the loss of the 6000 cattle aboard the ship, which was terrible, but pales into insignificance compared to the loss of human lives.
Meanwhile, not content with this total insensitivity, SAFE even went as far as to make up total lies about the cattle – claiming they were all pregnant.
However, this claim was instantly dismissed by MPI, which confirmed none of the cows on board were pregnant.
