Robread 1 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Just a whinge here lads. Popped in the garage last night on way home and picked up local paper. Was shocked to read a story on the front page! A farmer had lost 4 ewes, had 3 injured and 2 completely disappeared in what looked like a stray dog attack! We all know it happens but thenas i read a little further the plot thickened! These ewes werent just attacked by a stray these were attacked by someone who knew exactly what they were doing! Two were found completely skinned! Is there any justice in it! They wont get caught but its the innocent law abiding hunters that take the flack! It gives a bad name to all dogmen! Just wondering what you lads thing about this! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not being clever mate, but it's not hunters who've got the blame, you just said it was a stray that got blamed. Maybe someone fancies a bit of lamb for boxing day .............

Robread 1 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Aye the farmer thought it were a stray until he found the skinned ones. Looks kind of suspicious though dont it, dog attacks and skinning in the same night! I can understand what your saying about the Lamb for Boxing Day! b*****d Recession!

Guest RN-Rabbit-Control Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 It happens all the time around me, one farmer even lost 3 bullocks one night, nothing to do with stray dogs, gypsys or dog men, these are out of work slaughtermen, experienced men who are rigged up for the job.

Clover 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 These sheep had recently been wormed so the meat isn't fit for human consumption. It's not going to be good for anyone that eats it. Or if they feed the meat to their dogs and they are collie type, there's a high chance that it could kill their dogs. (Ivermectin, a common ingredient in sheep wormer, is highly toxic to many collie type dogs) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Ivermectin, a common ingredient in sheep wormer, is highly toxic to many collie type dogs) This was used to put people off buying meat of a few cows that where slaughered on the town moor years ago , they said the cattle had just had a jab and therefore was unfit to eat , didnt stop the whole estate having a cracking joint of beef on sunday mind you Rustling ? is that the name of it , do we have cowboy rustlers in the uk , i know we have cowboy sparkies / gas fitters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Sheep are often dosed though, and there are withdrawal periods on most medicines put into them. My opinion is it'd a lot easier to stop game poaching than those kind of attacks which could occur most anywhere there is stock kept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
