Ireland, "flying" cows to comply with EU regulations.
European regulations require cattle not to travel for more than eight hours, so the quickest solution is to board them on the plane. But the costs rise and the animal rights activists protest. Meanwhile, after Brexit, import-export with the United Kingdom is also a puzzle.
At first glance, the news seems to belong to the category of jokes about flying elephants: but the announcement that the Dublin government has started loading cows on airplanes to get them to the continent faster is no April Fool. Instead, it belongs to the evidence of how difficult trade has become across the Channel and the Irish Sea.
