Wild_and_Irish 11 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 can anyone answer this why the fook do they have barbed wire in the first place ? we aint allowed to put it round garden fence to keep people out but farmers have miles of the stuff everywhere my pup got cpl of nicks past few weeks from farmers cutting old stuff from fences and leaving it laid about all over wound powder or the spray cut and heal clears them up within 5-7 days To keep stuff in fields... I dislike it as much as anyone - but its fact that barbed fences last far longer and are equal priced to normal wire - farmers are operating a business not a fecking obstacle course for dogs. It is a part of running dogs these days. FTB farmers are worse than vets,no reason why electric fences cant be used, i know a few that wont have barb wire on the place, its just those that are to lazy and fat off there profits that have it, Barbed wire doesn't lose charge...I hate people who obviously don't have a f****n clue what they are talking about saying they should ban barbed wire, and as for farmers being 'too fat off their profits' are you f*****g serious? Most farmers struggle to keep going, most are giving it up or surviving on grants Quote Link to post
kill um with crisps 7 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 ftb its not just dogs that suffer i remember years ago when i was helping a farmer out and was driving to pick some bales up on a red hot day. we were going down the side of the field and come across a fallow buck with his leg caught up in barbed wire and all smashed to pieces just lying there absolutley fecked we found him at 5.30 and he must off been in the sun all day with no shade and a bust leg so we had to shoot him ill never forget the eyes of that buck as i did it the poor f****r was in prime condition aswell :thumbdown: so i say f**k the farmer the countryside would be alot better without barbed wire and that is the fact that matters to me Wouldnt be the first one mate.

Malt 379 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Not a fan of the fecking stuff, but it does a job. It's even worse when it's poorly maintained, we came across this a couple of years back out on the lamp. It had caught itself up on a loose end of barbed wire, and tied itself up in knots with about 6 meters of it. PS, I'm well aware of the danger of a Welshman posting a picture of a nervous looking sheep in a compromising position, so I'll get in there first and say that we did not have sex with her while she was tangled up in the wire, we waited until she was set loose! We believe in giving fair law. Edited April 30, 2010 by maltenby Quote Link to post
Edd_Wiltshire 9 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Yeah it is a pain in the arse, literally at times! Always remember coming home one day when I was young after a trip out somewhere and one of my mums cats had jumped up to a fence post, must of slipped and get tangled in the barbed wire, must of been hanging their for hours, luckily it was ok afterwards apart from the cuts. It did annoy me slightly as the field had never been used for livestock but its up to the farmer at the end of the day, by using barbed wire you cover yourself for using that field for livestock in future thus saving money. Still doesnt stop it being a pain. Quote Link to post

runforyourlife 361 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 im taking her to the vets later so il see what they say I'm, telling you now, if you run to the vets every time your lurcher gets a cut, your going to be working round the clock... Get a stapler pal.. And make sure your dog can jump with ease before entering areas with barbed wire. Also what happens if it discovers a red, like i said, get a stapler... top lamper or poacher, your spot on mate, if you cant afford to go to the vets sort it yourself... At least you havent f****d your dogs off to the pound because your skint, good on ya... To the guys who think he's a prick, you no very little of what your talking about mate... Quote Link to post

We believe in giving fair law. .... you crack me right up Malt :clapper: Not a fan of barbed either. And my lurcher can jump. But one slip on muddy ground and hey presto, chest wide open. I fail to see the need to use it personally. When it's not been maintained and it's lying round in long grass one gets rather nervous and not just for the dogs: my kids walk in the counrtyside with me all the time. The amount of times they've had near misses I don't care to think about. I'd be happy to see the stuff eradicated. Quote Link to post

Wind, solar? Way too expensive don't you think for something as simple a fence, don't talk shite, if you can't manage to work your way around a barbed fence or get your dog to do so don't blame the farmer, I manage it alright and have never had any major cuts on dogs that would need anythin more than a wash out.

I come from a family of farmers all my cousins and uncles are farmers too. Most have had to give it up full time and get a second job and cut farming down. One of my uncles gave up dairy a few years ago because he was making a loss and has switched to beef and does a bit of lorry driving to pay the bills. I have no idea where you get the idea farmers are loaded and I'd love to see you try and run a farm with nothing but electric fences, they just aren't practical to be used everywhere Quote Link to post
foreplay 2 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) sounds rough poor old you, born to land and money, i aint realy reading your posts mate, no i dont like most farmers, imo a lot of them dont deserve the land they farm, infact there pritty much parrsites in my eyes,cost the tax payer billions, :icon_redface:dont care what you say cause thats the way it is and you know it, taught from a young age and geneticly ingraind to repeat "there anit no money in farming" till some gullable people actually believe you and think its ok for you to tare small hedges out into large priairys and evict any wildlife in the way to make the payments on your latest 20,000 john deer.not saying thats you but that is a lot of farmers :icon_redface:oh yer, and more barb wire cheap, Edited April 30, 2010 by foreplay Quote Link to post
