AMMAN — The Irbid Court of First Instance, ordered a
veterinarian to pay JD850 as compensation to the owner of a cow that died
during childbirth, along with its calf. The veterinarian was seen to have been
the cause of the cow’s death due to his
negligence and improper use of tool and
procedures, Al-Ghad News reported.

According to the court ruling, the cow's owner owned a
healthy
Dutch cow, which was in labor. The owner called the veterinarian for
assistance. After examining the cow, the veterinarian attempted to help with
the delivery. However, he discovered that the calf was quite large as well as
being in a breech position inside the cow's womb.
He attempted to extract the calf using inappropriate tools
not designated for veterinary use, including hooks and ropes. He also sought
assistance from the farmer’s relatives to pull out the calf. Despite several
attempts, the calf's extraction resulted in tearing the cow's womb, causing
both the calf and the
cow to be at risk due to his negligence.
This prompted the owner of the
cow to slaughter it to
utilize its meat, after obtaining the veterinarian's consent. The labor process
lasted from noon until sunset.
