PVV turns its attention to Highland cows
Thursday 17 February 2011
The anti-Islam PVV in the province of Gelderland think ‘imported exotic’ animals such as Scottish highland cows and ponies from Poland should be removed from the landscape, the Telegraaf reports.
The paper says the PVV’s local provincial election campaign leader Olof Wullink believes the animals should go, saying the region needs ‘our own nature’.
The comments were made in a local television programme on Sunday.
A spokesman for the Dutch nature conservation group Natuurmonumenten told the broadcaster on Thursday that the PVV´s suggestion is ´absurd´. Highland cattle make a good substitute for the original Dutch wild cattle which have since died out, the organisation said.
