A witness said he was 'disgusted' at seeing the police ram a terrified calf with their squad car as people call for the officers to be sacked.

Kai Bennetts, 22, said the young cow was left with an 'open gash' and 'loads of grazes where the skin had come off' after it was hit by the police car and thrown several metres down the road.

He said that the first strike, the cow 'tried to get back up, and then they (the police) pushed it back over and blocked it by its neck and top half of his body and so it couldn't get up.' Mr Bennetts added: 'Inhumane is all I can say.'

Calls are growing for the 'monsters' who rammed the calf to be sacked after a new video showed the bovine calmly wandering down the street before officers swooped in who said they had to knock the animal down to keep the public safe.

Shocking footage shows police brutally smashing into the calf twice after it escaped from its enclosure as a nearby member of the public in Staines-upon-Thames, west London, shouts: 'What are you doing that for?'.

Wildlife TV presenter Chris Packham, Home Secretary James Cleverly and Deborah Meaden were among those condemning the 'brutal' actions of the police force.

Mr Packham wrote on X: 'I don't know where to start with this. But it's surely illegal and must be investigated and prosecuted. What sort of monster rams a calf? Twice?'

Home Secretary James Cleverly also asked for a 'full, urgent explanation' as to why officers appeared to use a police car to hit an escaped cow. He said the police action seemed 'unnecessarily heavy handed'.

The RSPCA described the footage as 'upsetting and distressing' and said the police 'action appears disproportionate to the situation'.

The UK is freaking out about this but will ignore or dismiss investigations of abuse in the industry.
