Thousands of cows could starve to death on a livestock carrier being denied permission to dock in Spain, a British-run animal charity has warned.

Susan Weeding, co-owner of the Easy Care Horse Rescue Centre near Torrevieja, has started a petition to try and save the cattle.

The vessel, which is travelling from Rio Grande in Brazil to Derince in Turkey, was due to dock in Cartagena to pick up food for the 5,500 young cows on board.

Majbd Bid, operations manager at the Lebanese company which owns the vessel, told Sky News it was not allowed to dock because of a legal dispute with a Spanish fuel company.

He added that he was "very afraid" for the cows and believes there is only one day left to save them.

Okay wait a minute. The article states *due to stop* does this mean that already had permission and then in route it was denied? If that is the case then shame on Spain.

Spain would let them dock if it were bulls for the fights
