In the case, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals sought an interim injunction to prevent Kuwaiti livestock exporter Al Mawashi from sailing a vessel loaded with sheep out of South Africa’s East London port.
The court ruled that Al Mawashi could transport up to 56 000 sheep on the vessel “to destinations in the Middle East.”It gave no reason for dismissing the NSPCA’s concern but ordered the government to ensure the transport of sheep and loading onto the vessel was in compliance with World Organisation for Animal Health regulations.
Earlier this month City Press reported that the public altercation between the two opposing groups has become increasingly acrimonious and any decision made by the court would most likely be contested. A lawyer for the NSPCA, which has been campaigning against Al Mawashi and its parent company, Livestock Transport and Trading Company , since late last year, said it was considering whether to appeal the judgment. “We are obviously not overjoyed by it,” Dominique Lloyd said.
