I dont know what will happen tbh, cos if the animal was genuinely in the condition they are saying and it can be proved, they are going to throw everything at the defence and alot of money as well, id love to see them with egg on their faces though

I know they're gonna attempt to sue. I don't see it working out though.......at all. If they were there with police, with a warrant as they say and the cow was in a right state then they're guilty of nothing IMO. I'd love to see them get slaughtered for this as much as the next reptile keeper on the street but I don't see anything happening here tbh.

Thats the whole point

From what I understand, and its only what I have read in different places, as I was not there, but it seems they did not have a proper warrant, or that it was not legally enforceable. They seem to have not been accompanied by the police, and an RSPCA vet covertly put the cow to sleep whilst other rspca 'officers' kept the farmers busy.

Also seems as if quailfied vets did not agree with the rspca vet regarding the so called plight of the said cow.

I'm only going on the link in the OP where the rspca guy says they were accompanied by police with a proper warrent. If they weren't and also if other vets have been treating said animal and said that it doesn't need to be pts then I wish the monks well with their case.

They didn't sneak in and put the cow to death, they brought it out and took it away to be slaughtered, I watched it on the news at the time.

From BBC NEWS | Wales | Shambo is removed for slaughter

"Despite a large number of people present, the animal was removed from the site without any injury to it or to people present."

Also, the 'plight' of the animal was simple, it had tested positive for Bovine Tuberculosis. All cows that test positive for this are destroyed, it's a tactic to try and completely eradicate the disease and it would be devastating if it got into a commercial herd.

Might be a bit heavy handed as the chances of the cow coming into contact with a herd were minimal. But they're never going to win a court battle as it went to the High Court prior to the removal of the animal and lost.

KitsuneAndy,

The current case involves a sacred cow which had not tested positive for bovine tuberculosis but had bad sores due to the fact it had been unable to stand for about a year. It was well cared for but really should have been euthanased.

Eddie.

Aah, Yeah I went and had another look on the news sites, helpfully they linked to both stories without actually pointing out that they were two different stories, apologies.
