Who to move the dead lamb

[Al R]

Slightly different kettle of fish, this is what I was greeted to this morning. View attachment 945199

Now I know I own the mother but the lamb was untagged as it was newly born while Mr Badger came in and took him from his mother and 2 siblings (the fence high up was covered in wool where she’d obviously tried to defend the lambs) so who owns this lamb and pays for disposal cost? Can I bill the badger? Is it up to Highway’s department in the council to extract and pay for cremation or does the buck fall on me again?

Why ask the question
Just pick it up. and bury it,

 

[puppet]

Just leave it there as you will have enough to do digging out the badger sett to give them the bill.

I once shot a big Alsatian that was worrying our ewes. Didn't fancy digging the size of hole required.

Owner untraceable, no council dog catcher department round here anymore, Police didn't want it.

General consensus of opinion was that I should take he body to the main road and 'run over it' so it would become a highways department problem

Lamb?? What lamb??

Is it possible to email a dead lamb

Surely it'd be best to send it by parcel post or courier

Do I have to wait until they’ve had the expected 30-50 lambs over the next few weeks to save on postage?

Run the badger over, problem solved!! You can interpret ‘run the badger over’ any way you like

Now you mention it, I'm not certain how well it would scan onto a pc so you make a good point, well presented.

I have wondered if that's how numerous badgers are to be found in eternal rest in roadside gutters round here. If they are all true RTA victims then some stretches of the main roads must be over-run with them on a nightly basis.

I couldn't possibly comment

Police at your door 1am and £1000 including fine and legal costs to run over badgers round these parts.

Inject lamb liberally with Trodax in case of early onset fluke and leave as an offering for the wildlife to feast on.

 

[Farmer Roy]

err, here, the blowfly maggots, foxes, wild pigs or eagles would soon clean it up

or, once enough traffic has run over it there would be nothing left anyway, its only a lamb. Not like its a bull or something

have you ever seen our rural roads & highways - roadkill is just an everyday occurrence. Ive even been known to put party hats on dead kangaroos on the road, in more exuberant times






ps - what happens if a rabbit gets hit by a car ? Does someone have to dispose of it ?
