More than a thousand stray cows have taken over the town of Kariba Planka in North Macedonia.
Cows come down from the hills and wander into public and private gardens, where they eat crops, break fences and obstruct traffic.
The mayor of Kariba Planka, Saško Mitovski, called on the state government to introduce a state of emergency for a month in order to catch the animals, writes German Focus.
In 2024, the Food and Veterinary Agency ordered the seizure of livestock from three owners. However, the decision was never implemented.
