OPINION: Animal rights group SAFE thinks skinny cows are unacceptable on a farm.
After two unsuccessful attempts to report farmers for allegedly carrying "thin" cows on farm, the group is now calling for the appointment of a Commissioner for Animals.
SAFE is unhappy with what it calls Ministry for Primary Industries' (MPI) lacklustre response to images of thin to emaciated cows, taken on two separate farms in recent weeks.
In both cases, images were passed on to MPI and in both cases inspectors visited the farm and found no offences and said the farms had sufficient supplies of supplementary feed on hand.
Just shows how much SAFE understands about farming and management of animals.
