ditchman Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 right......we have to abide by the same rules as the agricultural comunnity...........even if we keep chickens or a pet pig.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I suspect this is going to be a pretty once sided result... Right. Two tests for TB, it's sad, but it's a death sentence. Farmers don't care any less for their cows just because there are more of them, so why should a glorified stretched sheep be able to dodge the rules, just because it's more of a pet than stock? The owners made the whole process far more stressful for themselves and the animal. Edited September 1, 2021 by chrisjpainter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 It will be interesting to see if they do a post-mortem, even more so if it is negative for TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
