## Resource

Over 270 cattle at Falkland Estate in Fife face slaughter after failing to meet strict Scottish livestock registration rules, forcing a cull without government inspectors due to safety concerns following threats and social media abuse. The estate blames the government’s absence for placing undue burden on staff, while officials insist staff safety is non-negotiable. This case underscores Scotland’s rigorous animal traceability system — where untagged or unregistered animals can’t enter the food chain, often resulting in costly culls.
