Fifty Cattle Shot in Co Tyrone | Ireland News

Fifty-one cattle were shot dead over 12 hours on a Co Tyrone farm after a court-ordered seizure following the owner’s animal welfare conviction—some even calving—while eyewitnesses reported chaos as bulls and calves were chased. Police later admitted they were asked for help but couldn’t respond due to “operational difficulties,” sparking outrage. Farmers, including the Ulster Farmers’ Union, are demanding full transparency and accountability, meeting with officials to voice their distress. The police say they’re investigating, while the Assembly’s agriculture committee plans a special meeting next week—with DUP leaders pushing for ministerial presence—to ensure swift, thorough answers and systemic change.
