British Home Secretary James Cleverly Demands Explanation for Police Ramming Calf in Staines-upon-Thames

A Surrey Police officer has been removed from frontline duties after a viral video showed him ramming a runaway calf, Beau Lucy, twice with a police car in Staines-upon-Thames, causing public outrage. The calf had escaped from a farm and was deemed a public safety risk by police. Criticism came from various quarters, including Home Secretary James Cleverly and wildlife presenter Chris Packham, who called the action 'unnecessarily heavy handed' and 'inhumane'. The calf sustained injuries but is now recuperating. Surrey Police have referred the incident to their Professional Standards Department and the Independent Office for Police Conduct for investigation. The police force expressed regret and emphasized their commitment to both public safety and animal welfare.
