There’s no way a semi trailer full of animals should have been speeding. If the driver survived, his license should be permanently revoked and the company fined.

Many are still suffering. This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen.

That's really hard to watch. Those poor animals. Scared, hurt, in pain, dying...I can only imagine how hard that was to see in person. 🙏
