Dumping ground

    Hi,

    the forest near my place has become a dumping ground for dead livestock in the past 2 years. So far I have found lots of dead sheep, goats, a cow (!!!) and today a dead calf.

    I keep reporting it to the DVO and they come out, look at them (ear tags ripped out which I told them before they come out) and then tell me there is little they can do.

    TBH, I am getting sick of it. Granted it's a large forest with lots of entrances but surely the Council, Coilte or the DVO could install CCTV at some of them?

    How much is it to have a cow, calf, sheep or a goat professionally removed?

    We have been charged €10 or €20 to cover the paperwork with a fallen calf. This would apply only if we delivered the calf to the knackery, if you have to call them out it gets more expensive.

    We are probably not that far away from having a sufficient genetic database from which reliable parentage could be extracted to prove
    parentage.

    For some reason €80 is floating around in my head for collection. We'd a dead calf a few years back and had to get a call out. I'll find out tomorrow.

    Thanks John, I lost a pony a good few years ago and Green from Ballinasloe came to collect him, I think it was 65 Euro but that was years ago.

    Its a terrible act. Our county council have a mobile cctv kit. They put it up in a bog near to us a year ago to prevent illegal dumping and caught 1 non-national in the act. You should check with your county council.

    On a further note - if your cow died and you dumped the carcus and then cut out the ear tag, how would you explain the loss of the cow to the dep of agriculture? Are you not supposed to have a receipt from the knackery to add to your herd register to show where the animal went??

    Went missing, went down a boghole, got nicked etc pp. All they need to do is go to the Gardai and report them stolen/missing. DVO will accept it as long as you got a letter from the Gardai.

    Down here in kerry a calf costs E16, 48 month old and older cows E40, 2 to 4 year old cows E 100 and 6 to 24 month old stock E80 from what i can gather. Fairly expensive getting the knackery out:o
