I despair, what is happening within our society?! Is it that people are jobless, desperate and hungry or, just plain greedy with an 'owt for nowt' mentality?

Words do fail on this one. The only possible response is for everyone, Police and public, everyone in farming, butchery, catering trades, anyone with local knowledge or suspicions to do everything needed to catch the people who did this.

The Police have priorities to deal with, but this one has to go straight to high priority, to butcher the legs off sheep while they are alive demonstrates a level of psychopathic cruelty and intent that makes these extremely dangerous people.

Not much in it really, Hinch, if you are looking for better custodians. Other animals eat animals whilst they are alive, or pull them limb from limb, or do all manner of horrific things. I bet most animals end up in another animals belly.

This is sickening though

Absolutely Hinch.

Disgusting act by disgusting people. Similar to the bastards that slice the horns off Rhino when still alive, leaving them to die a long, painful death.

Just makes me feel sick what the hell is wrong with people butchering defenceless animals words fail me

Animal abusers very often become child abusers and or violent towards humans, if not already.

Just sick and senseless signing of with a heavy heart tonight far to much abuse to take in.

Also in the news, senseless and brutal slaughter of many thousands of Australian sheep in Pakistan.

Enough is enough!! like Jeanie, I too am signing off with a heavy heart

Quote: "Among those to contact police with information is Swiss reporter Patrick Martin, who says such attacks are more commonplace on the continent. Having investigated many such incidents he says the method of slaughter is specific to certain groups from certain regions of Europe."

I wonder if its a similar situation to this one?

"The government says it cannot ban it under EU law."
"its hands might be tied by a legal case"
"refused to say where the animals had travelled from"
"It's the captain's discretion whether he sails or not."

Every excuse and no common sense.

This government would probably not ban it anyway, basically the government are using the excuse of the EU to allow it to carry on. This government has actually according to animal welfare organisations relaxed a lot of rules on all sorts of animal welfare issues, in response to demands/requests from hunters, farmers, countryside alliance etc

The only thing known about the sheep is they came from mainland UK.

It is sickening, similar to the campaign by Australian campaigners trying to stop live exports of sheep.

I believe that all exports/imports of live animals should be stopped in the world, except when the animal is being moved to better living conditions from captivity.

I have just signed the petition, I am so against ALL animal cruelty, it sickens me.
