Rural Crime: Thieves killing and butchering cows in fields to sell meat on black market
Cows are being killed and butchered by a gang of thieves who are selling the meat on the black market.
One farmer described the sight of the slaughtered animals as “horrendous” after police confirmed that a spate of attacks were believed to be linked to one group.
Livestock owners in Worcestershire have previously been warned about the gang, said to be “highly mobile”, following similar killings.
