185 of them have been running wild for 3 years and the regional veterinary office wants them sent to slaughter as they might spread disease to other cattle.
Poland's most powerful politician, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said this week the herd in the rural community of Deszczno should be saved for humanitarian reasons. Famed Cat-lover Kaczynski said he wants Poles to know that many politicians are friends to animals.
President Andrzej Duda also tweeted to say the herd should be saved.
In response, Agriculture Minister Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski said the animals will be examined and put under the care of a state-owned farm.
The deputy governor in Deszczno, Aleksander Szperka, said Friday he is waiting for the herd — which remains on fenced-off land — to be taken away.
Seems a lot of animal lovers made it clear they wanted the animals saved.
They’re dairy cattle, for goodness sake. Think of all the milk, cream, and cheese that been going to waste all that time.
