Aye, unfortunately that was me. Not actually seen it myself, but probably looked like a bearded nut job who has been lambing flat out for. . . . . 64 days. . . . and counting.

Just watched the video, mate.......you look like you need a few days kip

And the bearded nut job bit too....Yes you do

 

[CopperBeech]

Aye, I'm fair tired now! Got about 250-300 left to lamb out of 4500, so on the down hill slope now!

Just got a lot of tailing / vacing/ clicking to do now!

Not cut my beard since we started lambing lol

Sorry to hear about this @CopperBeech. These seemingly never ending dog attacks really make me angry.................

.........what makes me more angry is them saying, "...the photos are too horrific for us to show..."

They should bloody well show them - people need to see what sort of devastation dogs can inflict on livestock

 

[CopperBeech]

Whats amazing is how mad people have either said -

That defiantly wasn't a dog, it was a fox, you're making a big assumption.

Or

You're a hypocrite as you were going to kill them anyway. . . . . .

F***k me people are stupid. . . .

 

[CopperBeech]

It looks like it was a large Alsatian. . . .got a bit of info. Just need to find them now.

Also found out where my local lamb killing fox has been holed up. . . . in neighbouring small holders ground. . . . .

So got a couple of beasties on the 'hit list' now.

You'll be needing more than one cartridge then.

 

[CopperBeech]

Yup.

Luckily we also keep pigs . . . .

 

[GrannyAching]

Remember to dispose of the indigestible bits like buttons and belt buckles then.

Until reports like this stop dwelling on the monetary loss, and start to focus on the cruelty of attacks, and the downright disregard of the owners of dogs who attack for the welfare of flocks, of the severely injured animals they leave behind. Then we will get nowhere.
