henry d Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I`m asking you all to do a little something,because of something I came across yesterday whilst stalking.Would you pick up every piece of bailer twine you see when out in the fields. This poor beast may have starved to death although I sincerely hope he just broke his own neck struggling.I imagine he picked up the twine and got it caught during the early summer whilst rubbing the velvet off.

Frank Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thats a very sad looking picture. Im allways and for ever telling farmers this., It does sink in eventually. Allways take up string ect, when you come across it. Good post H. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Awful picture HD I always pick up any kind of rubbish I find, I once seen a calf choke on an empty shotgun cartridge It's amazing how many people don't pick them up, not like it's a particularly tough job. I even try to get the plastic wadding if I can, a bit OTT I know but it all helps. Once had a sheep become tangled up and die in an old bedspring frame contraption that was dumped in the hills, people are so careless.

al4x Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 we found one tangled in string on a driven day about 5 years ago. Absolutely sickening the keeper borrowed a gun and put it down straight away. It was malnourished and the string had cut it badly where it had struggled. Horrible to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
