Torture to watch livestock die for want of fodder’
Declan Hurley, who is also a county councillor in Cork, said many people outside of farming do not realise the raw emotions facing farmers in the dairy and beef industries.
“Farmers have a duty of care towards their animals and when they can’t feed them, they feel they have failed. It’s very mentally draining for farmers, it’s a torture to watch livestock die for want of fodder,” said the West Cork-based Independent councillor.
