Cormo Express sheep get the all-clear
21 Oct 2003
Australia's chief veterinarian, Gardner Murray, has inspected the 52,000 sheep on board the MV Cormo Express, now on its way home, and says they are in better condition than sheep that survived the drought. Dr Murray said the animals are in good health, and he denied the claims by animal rights activists that the sheep were eye-deep in manure. The pens are being cleaned so the sheep can lie down to sleep, he said.
The MV Cormo Express set sail from Kuwait on Friday October 17. The ship will dock at the Cocos Islands in the first week of November, where the sheep will be checked for exotic diseases.
