New Zealand to kill 1 lakh cows to end bacterial disease
In a bid to eradicate a cattle disease Mycoplasma bovis, New Zealand will kill over 1 lakh cows over the next two years, PM Jacinda Ardern has said. New Zealand will spend over $600 million on the largest mass animal slaughter in the country's history. Around 26,000 cows have already been killed since the disease was first detected last year.
