This is why Cape Town smells

I haven’t been involved in marine engineering but why hasn’t a vessel been designed to counter the buildup and just dispose of it routinely into the ocean Durban style. Strange really.

It looks like it would be fairly easy to use sea water to wash the crud into the ocean. Obviously not while they are in the harbour though.

Just turn them into cuts and stick ‘em in a fridge. Job done. Don’t know why people have to slag animals when they can just get meat at spar like everyone else.

I don't think the complete ban on transporting livestock is reasonable, but geez how difficult is it for a boat like this to just wash the shít away every 3rd day on the open ocean. Im 100% sure all the equipment for that is already on board, someone just need to turn on a pump.

Do that in Durban and the water quality will dramatically increase!
 
Where I come from this would never have happened. Back at home, the cows walk the streets. Cars give way, cows rule our country and we are proud to have them. Such peaceful creatures.

I doubt meat is the only product that cows produce in general. It might also be to supplement a shortage in dairy products in certain regions in the middle east? On the other hand countries like the Netherlands have such an excessive amount of cows it’s affecting their emissions. If its not the one thing its the other.

Problem with using sea water might be the cattle consuming it. But I’m sure there is a simple solution that can prevent this.

I suspect the cattle already drink sea water.
 
Doesn’t the high concentration of ammonia that builds up in the ship burn the fk out of their eyes and mucous membranes?
It must also make the meat taste a bit different/weird once their are slaughtered.

How close could civilians get access?

Flip man, how close do you want to get ? I can send you my socks to sniff if you want ?

The yacht club is public access - so that is pretty close. Its down wind so as close as you need to be.
If you come down Mandela blv and go in at Duncan rd then you will also get pretty close.
