steve_b_wales Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I've just read on Facebook about a farmers wife in Conisbrough, who has shown photo's of her 4 month old calf. Someone went into the farmyard, while they were in the fields, and shot it, at least twice, in the neck/head, with a shotgun. The calf was in a barn. Sadly, the calf died despite the vet trying to save it. What the hell is wrong with someone who can do such an evil terrible act? They are one short step from harming a human.

old'un Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 As horrible as the attack on the calf is, I would say there's more to this than just cruelty, revenge maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobt Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 the photos dont look like a shotgun wound, more an air rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 It was clearly shot from some range then . As the pellets seem to have struck all over the body . So probably 40 yds plus ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 i dont know if these sort of things are happening more or we are just hearing about them as a result of various forms of modern communication.................for decades i have heard of this sort of cruelty......the popular thing a few years ago was cross bow bolts in various animals..............normally in the past pre-computor time we would only hear of these incidents if it was in our local area............ im desperatly trying to make myself believe that these happenings are not on the increase.............

Benthejockey Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I saw that. Looks like a revenge attack by some members of the caravan club. Peppered with shot so probably shot from 35+ yds. I know a lad who was the victim of a similar attack only he got shot instead of the calf. Fortunately he is the size of a Charolais bull and was wearing a wax jacket. He is a bit of a fighter and had had a scrap with a couple of local ****** a few weeks previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Horrible. If you have a disagreement with the owner why take it out like this on a poor animal. Its time they upped the sentences for animal abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I bet the RSPCA wouldn't get much stick on here if they prosecuted the individual(s) responsible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon69 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 There are some messed up people about.... hopefully the offender will be caught and guns seized! Unless its a member of the "Caravan Club", then i think its against their religion to be prosecuted! And the Police wouldn't want to interfere with their religion now, would they!

yates Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Doncaster council have placed many problem families in the village and unfortunately this type of incident is not rare. I left several years ago but it was not uncommon to witness sheep and deer left dead and mutilated by both human and hunting dog attacks. The police and most of the community know exactly who is responsible but the same scum are tied into drugs and organised crime so very little is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose man Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 God forbid who ever did this has a ticket ...he or she has a serious mental problem .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Very doubtful the gun is on a 'ticket' like the knife used to stab that poor old boy in Norfolk yesterday ... stupid so called crime prevention law failed to save him as well. Only you and I, law abiding citizens are obstructed. As I have said many times, the word 'could' and 'may' should be banned from the English language. 'WILL' should be used instead. I read were these acid attackers 'COULD' receive 5yrs sentences when caught carrying acid/corrosive liquids ..as said , should be WILL as it should be for the perpetrators of this attack on a calf.
