51 Cows Shot by State Slaughter Team | Cork News

Fifty-one cows were shot in a field in County Tyrone by the Department of Agriculture’s Humane Slaughter Team—following a court order tied to the farmer’s prior animal welfare conviction. The incident has sparked outrage and demands for accountability, prompting Agriculture Minister Andrew Muir to order an external review and triggering a special committee meeting during summer break. DUP Deputy Leader Michelle McIlveen is pushing for a full investigation, calling the public scenes “shocking” and insisting officials be held responsible. The minister acknowledges animal welfare’s importance to Northern Ireland’s farming community and plans to meet with farmers to address concerns.
