[QUOTE="Dave79, post: 7174167, member: 78630"] It says it was an ni animal so probably left through the republic. To stop ni cattle going to Europe you need to stop republic sending animals to eu. Might it have been the only uk tag on the lorry, picked out to suit the story? The calf lying on the ground has apparently succumbed to a respiratory disease picked up on the lorry over to Spain, but that animal is not a calf, it’s a stirk, and therefore has been in Spain for a good number of months in all probability. It is possible that the whole lorry of cattle were from the uk, and it’s possible the sick calf arrived the day before, but the opposite could be true. Halal slaughter is abominable, and I would oppose export direct to slaughter, they should be on the hook, but all I can do is the best for my cattle. I can’t control what others do, and I certainly wouldn’t take this article as the gospel truth, and use it to beat uk farmers up about welfare. [/QUOTE]
