[QUOTE="PostHarvest, post: 5115744, member: 1570"] Although I can see how inner city kids might benefit from a spell in the real world, I can see some major issues that need to be addressed. Livestock can be stubborn, intimidating, often dirty and smelly and sometimes downright dangerous. The majority of farms run with minimum labour so there aren't spare people to supervise young people in their first experience of dealing with stock. I'm thinking of commercial farms, not petting zoos. Livestock, machinery, heavy loads of feed and bedding plus the rawest of raw recruits, what could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately I can think of 101 things that could go wrong, and if anyone was hurt in such a venture, HSE would have a field day. They seem to like nothing better than grabbing headlines by levying the highest possible fines. [/QUOTE]
