150+ #cattle killed by #heatwave in Liniers market, #Argentina

These are difficult days for the hacienda . The heat wave was present in the Liniers Market, where more than 150 animals died the day before yesterday and joined other hundreds that were lost in feedlots and transport trucks.

As a consequence of the high temperatures, with a thermal sensation higher than 45 ° C , the long trips from the hacienda from the fields to the city of Buenos Aires worsened the situation. Some arrived dead and others fallen or in such extreme conditions that they died within hours of getting off the transport. Also in the refrigerators, dozens of animals were lost.

In dialogue with LA NACION , Alfonso Monasterio, of Tattersall Monastery and director of the Liniers Market, said the situation is worrisome. “Added to the problem of the deaths of the animals of the day on Tuesday, at night there were street cuts due to the lack of light in the adjoining neighborhoods that did not allow the entry of trucks and this delayed the discharge of today [ on Wednesday]”,
