“Ten cattle went down in the river – euthanized”
“Ten cattle have been killed then they have gone down in the gide river, north of Örnsköldsvik. When djurägaren, who lives a short distance away, arrived late on Tuesday afternoon, he saw that the animals rushed a fence and taken out on the river where the ice has fractured.”
“the Rescue service was alerted, but before the staff arrived came the owner that the situation was too dangerous for a rescue operation. The ice was weak, it was around 20 degrees cold, the animals moved much in the water and they were difficult to be included.”
“He killed them because he felt that there was little chance to get them up,” says Ulrik Lindström, insatsledare on the rescue services in Örnsköldsvik, sweden to the TT.”
“the Animals had been frightened by something and gone out on the ice, reports the SVT News, Västernorrland.”
“Now must djurkropparna salvaged out of the water. This could be done either by djurägaren itself, by the municipality or by the county board.”
