[QUOTE="Lovegoodstock, post: 3731796, member: 42646"] Don't see the point of the beast not being covered, bad treatment of animals or bad codes of practice, but I do think we are getting over the top in hiding the reality to the general public, which creates an issue when they see something that in fact is reality. Had a friend up last weekend with his wife and 3 youngish kids, hadn't seen him in 20 odd years, hes a "townie" but a market town a mile or so from real country. Obviously hid 2 sheep in the adopter, put away a lamb skinned that morning, he said amazing the difference of seeing a real farm from the lambing day farms they have visited around my area. He was talking seeing placenta, one ewe that hadn't fully cleansed. Was amazed, though he was innocently saying it, how pure,tidy, clean, unrealistic they want it. Lambing days around here are hugely profitable, obviously with a lot of hard work, ive thought about it, and what would I do? Finish lambing and do a lambing day when I have 25 stragglers left and I can chase up after piece of stray afterbirth, and wash and cleanse each ewe post lambing. Think our push for best welfare has gone too far, in that whilst good and admirable, as ive said on another thread, they ought to be shown how bad it is elsewhere, not right, but general public shouldn't be afraid of seeing afterbirth or a skin on a lamb, they should however value animals cared for yet accept it doesn't come without the odd loss or disaster that isn't caused by negligence, simply nature?
