An animal welfare charity is appealing to the public for information after three young Labrador-cross pups were found in a ditch in Co Fermanagh.

The cuts are proposed as part of a range of measures including a badger cull to tackle the disease which costs the taxpayer as much as £40 million every year.

The Ulster Farming Union says the move is necessary to control the spread of bovine tuberculosis which is leading to the slaughter of thousands of cattle.
