Slaughtered m.bovis cattle dumped in landfill

From Afternoons, 1:14 pm on 14 May 2018

Nearly 2500 calves and yearlings were slaughtered and dumped at the privately-owned AB Lime landfill between Winton and Browns, in Southland.

The meat is perfectly fine for human consumption and Lavina Good from the Tauranga charity Good Neighbour discusses how the animals could have been eaten by humans or pets.
