Veterinarians arrived at a French farm under police escort to slaughter a herd of cows suffering from a potentially deadly disease, a reporter said, after police used tear gas to clear away angry protesters trying to protect the animals. Farmers have staged protests in several parts of France in recent days, accusing the authorities of not doing enough to support them.
Hundreds of agricultural workers have demonstrated for two days outside the farm in the southern area of Ariege near the Spanish border. — AFP
