Not heard of any cattle going but sheep seem to be rustled every year up up this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,660 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Farmer round here for last few years has had 10+ sheep shot in a night by someone . Police seem to think it's people travelling over the mountains and just using the sheep for target practise , leaving them all dead where they stood and f***ing off somewhere else Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pearl87 3 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I found a few bags of sheep guts/feet etc in a field at work the other week .... Not the first time either. Can't say I enjoy cleaning up other people's mess 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say that's that's someone paying the Farmer back for something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,735 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 30 odd years ago, if you could get an animal through tthe back door of the local butcher he,d pay you a few quid and it would be jointed up and in the window for sale by dinner, been going on for years probably less of a problem now due to all the paper work needed than back in the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 In the old days in the wild west rustlers were hung from a tree, IMO that should be whats done with them nowadays. Between them and burglars they are destroying the country way of life and everyones living on their nerves and as a result it's ruining the hunting game. String the b*****ds up I say. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
