Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the cruel and dangerous practices of transporting cattle across the ocean during the late 19th century. The author, a vocal advocate for animal welfare, exposes the appalling conditions and risks endured by both the cattle and the sailors who worked on these ships. Through vivid descriptions and firsthand accounts, the author sheds light on the inhumane overcrowding, lack of ventilation, and perilous storms that characterized these voyages. The book not only highlights the suffering inflicted upon the animals but also the recklessness and greed that fueled this industry. Shipowners, driven by the desire for profit, overloaded their vessels, creating hazardous conditions for the crew and leading to numerous shipwrecks and fatalities. By situating this issue within the broader context of maritime history, the author provides valuable insights into the challenges and dangers faced by sailors during this era. The book concludes with a powerful call for reform, urging the implementation of stricter regulations to protect both animals and humans involved in the livestock trade. It argues that compassion and safety must take precedence over the pursuit of profit, and highlights the importance of responsible animal husbandry and ethical shipping practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
