Dehorning ban among extreme measures weighed up in Europe
A ban on dehorning is among some of the more extreme measures considered by the European Commission in its current animal welfare review.
There could be a ban within five years on dehorning dairy cows, if some of the more extreme measures considered by the European Commission in its current animal welfare review get through the lengthy decision process.
The Commission aims to improve animal welfare by aligning legislation with the latest scientific evidence, broadening its scope, and making it easier to enforce.
