'Justice for Manx Bull' page launches after police shoot animal

Wednesday, 15 October 2025 06:50

A Facebook page has been launched campaigning for justice for the escaped bull which was shot by police yesterday, Tuesday, October 14.

It's welcomed Isle of Man Meat's investigation into how the animal got loose from the abattoir.

Campaigners say if nothing comes of the review, then they're planning a protest outside the meat plant in Tromode.

The police previously issued a statement saying armed officers had no choice but to dispatch the bull near Douglas Rugby Club, because of the risk it posed to the public.
