SocietyRussia carries out another mass livestock cull amid disputed diagnosis

Authorities in Russia’s Irkutsk region have seized and killed livestock in several villages, citing lumpy skin disease. Farmers say many animals were not confirmed to be infected, while a veterinary epidemiologist says the symptoms may point to foot-and-mouth disease. Residents also oppose a burial pit dug in a riverbed near their villages.
