Farmer fined for transporting cow
Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland, a judge has handed a fine to the tune of £1,500 to a farmer for an animal welfare-related offence.
Mr Bertie Herbison (73), Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, was convicted at Omagh Magistrates’ Court on Monday, August 23rd, 2021.
He was fined for transporting an animal that was “not fit for the journey”.
The case arose when he transported a cow to an abattoir in Northern Ireland.
The Official Veterinarian (OV), on duty at the abattoir, stated that the animal was not fit for transport in their professional opinion.
The matter was referred to DAERA’s Welfare and enforcement branch. It investigated, and a file was submitted to the Public Prosecution Service.
