Surrey Police Criticized for Ramming Escaped Cow Twice in Feltham; Cleverly Demands Probe
Jun 15, 2024, 07:38 PM
A controversial incident involving Surrey Police has sparked widespread outrage after officers used a police car to ram an escaped cow twice in Feltham and Staines-upon-Thames. The incident, which was captured on video, has led to calls for an urgent investigation by Home Secretary James Cleverly and animal welfare advocates, including Chris Packham. The cow, which survived the ordeal and is being treated by vets, was described as young. Critics, including members of Parliament such as Chris Loder and animal welfare campaigners like Dominic Dyer, have condemned the police's actions as inhumane and unnecessarily heavy-handed. Surrey Police have referred themselves to the police complaints watchdog, and the incident has prompted discussions about police conduct and animal cruelty laws.
