Possibly more arrivals.


Following on from Smudgley's thread about cat rescues becoming more busy, many of our small animal and general rescues are suffering the same fate.
We may be taking in 5 pet sheep, who were left at a house when it was sold. The new owners don't want to be bothered with them, or the cost of vaccines, worming, shearing etc, and if they can't find a home will have them PTS.
I will phone tomorrow to arrange collection,our goats are due their second bluetongue vaccine at the end of the week, so I would like to get these sheep done at the same time.

There may also be a 14 year old, hyperthyroid cat looking for a home. Her owners are moving abroad, and aga`in if a home can't be found she will be PTS. We won't jump in and offer, if she finds a home somewhere else fine, otherwise
' cat number 10' is on her way.

Re: Possibly more arrivals.


Isn't there a law against the wilful abandonment of sheep? IMO there should be a law against leaving any animal behind in a state that is likely to cause distress or suffering, but surely there are laws to protect "productive" animals such as sheep, cows, goats and pigs???

Re: Possibly more arrivals.


Maybe you could ship them to the White House! During WW I President Wilson had sheep to mow the lawn; now that the Obamas are there and very green (they have planted a vegetable garden!), perhaps sheep instead of a polluting gas mower...???

Seriously, bless you for helping, farthing, you are an angel ......
