"Animal welfare is a social science not an exact science."

So here we are. The industry, who has always accused animal welfare groups of not enough science, have now turned the tables. Heat stress science is unarguable, so they are now claiming that animal welfare is not a science. And the 28 wet bulb temperature (WBT) is only a problem in climate controlled rooms but not a problem at all on densely packed ships.

Well, here are the facts and THEY DONT LIE. These are direct screen shots from the Independent Observer notes on the Bader (IO3): yep sheep on a May voyage suffer from heat stress....as predicted!

And, surprise surprise, no amount of space makes any difference, just as we have always said (based on SCIENCE).
