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.

Differnt cow! The cow in this case was from baktivedanta manor nr ish london

Its funny that, i was also told and read that charitys could not meddle in politics either, but how long have they got away with that for?

To be honest, i pretty much dispise the RSPCA,
Heres a disgusting link that does nothing but explain about the rSPCA under a dark light. IF the stories are ture its whoely wrong, and incredibly disturbing. the charity should be bloody stopped and bloody abandoned!! its a total faliure.
I was informed there is now charities setup to watch over the RSPCA, and protect animals from the RSPCA. thats F

absurd
What does that say? hmm. RSPCA is a political group with total lack of knowledge and reason that implores bullboy tactics to enforce its own opinion.
Charity? name me another charity that has blooming ranks!
'Superintendant'? wot are they supposed to be an enforcing police establishment? sod off, theyr crap, lol..

im sure many have seen this link before

THE RSPCA UNMASKED
(Sorry to go off on a tangent bowt RSPCA! rahter than the cow,lol)
