Growing Resistance
Throughout Europe
Dutch Farmers Demand Vaccination Instead of Slaughter
bs. For the second
time this week Dutch farmers in Kootwijekerbroek, a village in the Netherlands,
tried to prevent healthy animals from being killed by means of blockades.
The big roads leading to the farms were blocked by tractors
and other agricultural machines, foot paths were barred by tree trunks and
rubble. Ugly scuffles with the villagers arose when mobile police units (ME)
wanted to remove the blockades. This week 22 demonstrators were arrested.
The farmers and their families are demanding vaccination of their healthy
animals instead of them being slaughtered.
