Thousands of sheep and cows die in trucks and saleyards every year. They need better protection

When a semi-trailer burst into flames on a highway in northern New South Wales earlier this month, it wasn’t only the driver who had to flee for his life.
In the back were about 60 cows. With the help of passing motorists, the driver stopped traffic and tried to save the animals. With no loading ramp available, terrified cattle were forced to jump directly from the burning truck onto the road. Some fell and were injured, while others ran onto the highway in panic. Several died.
