波蘭當局裁定，一群在境內漫遊的約180頭乳牛須被宰，令奮力拯救牠們而成動物權利訴訟著名案例的社會運動人士心灰意冷。
Left to wander fields in the western municipality of Deszczno for years, the cows are a threat to public safety and the health of other animals because they have not had proper checks, Poland’s chief veterinary officer has ruled. 多年來被放在西部自治市德什奇諾的田野遊蕩，波蘭首席獸醫官判定，因一直沒有接受適當檢查，這些乳牛威脅到公共安全及其他動物健康。

"I have instructed the veterinary services that they have to clean up these cows," Minister of Agriculture Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski said earlier this month. The slaughter would cost about 350,000 zlotys, local media reported.農業部長楊‧西什托夫‧阿勒丹諾吾斯基本月稍早說，「我已指示獸醫處，他們必須清除這些乳牛。」當地媒體報導，宰殺費用約35萬茲羅提。
