People write on here as if it was a new phenomenon . It isn't . Quite a few years ago , a pal of mine who ran a garage business on the edge of the Derbyshire hills . One night , late on , he got a call to go out to a car stranded with a flat tyre . He found them and on asking them to open he boot to get the spare wheel , they insisted hat he took off the wheel , took it back to his premises , mended the puncture , brought it back and fitted it . Not bliddy likely says he , and opened the boot himself , only to find it full of dead lambs with their throats cut . .Not a new thing as I say .

Seems to be more frequent lately though than of in the past .

We once had a local "bad- lad " hawking lamb to the local school kitchen head cook / manager . Luckily she knew him , told us about it , and we moved the lambs from the roadside field to a less accessible field . Mind you that scheme was always a non starter - he was bit of a nutter , and well known for being so .

Scanned some ewes today, twenty missing since the count on first of September! Split between two farms six mile apart, double whammy if you like! So fecked off, feel helpless against it, police are useless, what do you do when all the land is accessed by main roads an can’t move them more than one field over!!?

Feel for you - have had it here.

We're always on 'red alert'. Everybody in the area (not just farming folk) are on the lookout, taking vehicle numbers, ringing us if they think there's somebody suspicious about.

It means a lot of false alarms and is a pain when you have to go out at all hours to have a look round.

Sadly, you can't be everywhere, all of the time.
As you say, the police are about as good as useless. Even when we caught one of the barstewards, and handed him to them on a plate, they still couldn't be @rsed to prosecute him.
We now have a rural crimes officer now who is a bit more keen but you can never get hold of him when you need him and the rest of them don't have a clue/give a stuff.
If somebody had nicked £4000 worth of goods from a shop they'd put a bit more effort into it but when they nick it from a field it doesn't often warrant a visit.
A crime number and a letter asking you if you need any councilling is no fecking use.

what makes me angry is this? if it is foreigners with their customs cultures etc, the same thing happened in their country, justice would be metered out by the locals, if the culprit was caught? with the local polices blessing? here if they do happen to be caught? they get handouts, fish and chips served up by the police? interpreter? claim compensation from the police? all egged on by the parasite human right lawyers?

It would be great if we had an effective alternative.

Don’t know how you are supposed to stop this as 90 percent of our ground is by roads an you cant be with them 24hrs a day, so pee'd off!! Wish I could catch some fxxker in v act

Could you set up a remote camera linked to your phone, some you put a sim card in to match phone and download a app to make it work , if you could get 3 phones linked with sims to camera, two given to biggest mates one for yourself , when triggered get there quick with tools and sort the problem out,

I voted for Borris, I didn't vote for his animal rights bed fellow.
I won't be voting for him again, I won't be voting Labour either.
Protest vote for me next time the way things are going.

I voted green

They killed large swathes of the population
They stole billions which my children will have to pay back.

Like many locally a protest vote as labour have more chance of flying to Mars than getting in round here. Greens and Liberals were only ones who bothered to canvas my vote, both candidates came across well in contrast to Mr Zahawi who always comes across like a snake in both hustings and correspondence. Couldn't vote Liberal due to their having facilitated the Blues previously.

Pitty really can't keep a few sharp lims in the field with them, or just a few quiet welshblacks with big horns just too keep people on there toes......if there's no right of way in there is the farmer still liable?

That's why they come across the channel edged on by the frenah. They could stop them if they really wanted to.

Bet the French could help too .
