How did they even go to the toilet? Dod they really have to go on the floor, like animals in a stable? 🤢

Yes, they lived and died in their own shit and piss. The inhumanity is impossible for me to even imagine. If you're ever in Ghana: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Coast_Castle

we literally treat livestock better than this during transport, if only because livestock has value and dealing with nasty stuff is nasty

And that's something i'll never understand about people who are okay with this: it's depraved to treat people like cattle, but to treat them worse goes beyond depravity and into being the very definition of evil. Presumably the perpetrators consider suffering a positive..
