Farmer jailed for leaving cattle in a hell hole

No, they are not the "better" pictures!!! They are the worst;a dead cow and a dead/downer stirk.Something does not stack up here,where are the other 170 animals? We do not know if the photographs were a snapshot of the whole farm,or carefully taken of the very worst parts for maximum impact.I suspect the latter.The headline picture is of the unfortuneate bedding his calves up;they appear healthy.The structure of the buildings look decent.There has been a burst/broken water trough in one shed which makes it look really bad,but this can happen to anyone.If the pictures were the worst of the farm,i suggest 3/4 hours work with a loadall,2 dozen round/big square bales of straw,and the dead cow,stirk and calf away to the fallen stock,and this would have been sorted.

Agree with not necessarily an accurate view of whole farm. During lambing about 3 years ago, the ewe lambs, I got all dead lambs together in a pile for knacker man next day, about 15/20, quite a few days worth, had a c section that I got vet to do as I was knackered, went up to him when he arrived and he had a face like thunder of conditions, badger/fox though see argument of neither had been in shed and spread "dead pile" from right on edge of shed by gate all over the lambing shed. Fully admit looked awful, should have been outside the shed, but red kites drag them everywhere, my farm if pictured to how it suits the story you want to tell, could be a show animal producing perfect farm to a dead animals everywhere type farm

This is Hampshire County Council, they have been proven to lie to the courts earlier in the year, and they are also very good at PAINTING A PICTURE, there should be a proper investigation into what went on, and Hampshire should not just be believed

Yes,this wouldn't be the first time Trading Standards have been used to give receivers/lenders an open door.Flooding a shed a favourite trick,followed by an early morning visit from TS,what a coincidence.
Have seen enough misleading photos and lies from these sort of people to know that rather than concentrate on the welfare of the animals and the individual they are prepared to use it in their propaganda warfare,justifying their existence and displaying their supposed greater knowledge.
Whilst not a pretty picture,as @jendan says it would not have taken a lot of sorting,and who are we to judge.I just hope that they get this guy sorted out and into a better place.
