[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7416560, member: 86168"] we sold our sheep in the end, an old biddy in the village would ring up the RSPCA, at the slightest limp, we were told what they can, or cant do, in the end, they just asked everything ok ? they knew there wasn't a problem, but had to respond to complaints. Worked on the theory, that one day, sods law would find something wrong ! But welfare is a problem that will only increase, what is acceptable, or normal, for farmers/vets, can easily be seen as cruelty by the public, we had a serious run in last year, with a vegan lady, and yet, RT and min vets, were perfectly happy after their immediate inspections. The min vet told us, the biggest source of complaints, are about farmers starving their cattle, strip grazing, and outwintered in appalling conditions, both would be normal ag practice. Following our experience, we have a written protocol for any sick animal, isolate, treat, no improvement after 48 hrs, discuss with vet, (phone), if no improvement after a further 48 hours, euthanise. By having that protocol, and following it, you have ticked all the boxes, and we live in a tick box culture, and you have covered yourself, legally. [/QUOTE]
