Best to ring your local friendly undertaker -:)

Here's what you should do:
- ring the County Council animal welfare officer and tell him the details and any previous incidents like this
-ring the County Veterinarian Officer
- ring the Guards
- might be no harm to ask the Revenue Commissioners to have a look at his accounts. If he neglects animals he probably neglects his taxes too.
Don't ring the farmer or alert him in any way as to what might happen. Let the AWO and CVO get him and give him a surprise spot visit. Who know what other juicy stuff they'll uncover.

Look, I am from a farming background so I know. Animals jsut die. But they shoudl not be allowed to rot in a field near a house as it's a health hazard.

I get the impression that the "farmer" you speak of is a real knuckle dragger.

if speaking to the farmer does nothing, the next port of call would be your local district veterinary office (DVO). I can assure you these people wont be long dealing with the issue.

Contact the Environment section of your local County Council for advice.

Fallen Animals
It is the responsibility of animals' owners to dispose of fallen animals in accordance with current animal by-product regulations . This involves the collection of the carcase by a licensed knackery and subsequent rendering.
Reports of incidences of increased levels of fallen animals in farms are investigated by Veterinary Inspectors in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture, particularly to ascertain if a particular disease or animal welfare problem is behind the increased mortality.
Cases of dumping of animal carcases are investigated, particularly with regard to tracing the origin of the animal involved and its owner. This is to recoup any costs involved in the disposal of the carcase, and in connection with legal proceedings that may follow such dumping.

Don't speak to the farmer. This will mean he just might remove it but will probably allow it to happen in other areas of his land.

Also do not alert him to the CVO visit. Don't give him the chance to cover up.

Let them catch him out. It's his own fault.

They will come within 24hrs. And by god they are ruthless. The have great powers and are not afraid to weild them. I've know them to throw the book at people and have them up in front of a judge and fined heavily for animals with missing ID tags.

your dogs won't be shot if they don't go on to his field, in which case he is fully within his rights to shoot "them for no reason"

simplest way to deal with the carcass problem is to notify the guards

welcome to boards btw seems to be a lot of new posters on here recently

bogmandan · 24-09-2012 07:05PM

hey snowman,,,,its not his land,,he was only renting it,,,,my dogs don't normally go on this field,,,, but with rotten meat there the smell draws them in,,even on a day like today the smell coming from it is bad,,,but i agree wit u he has rights,,,

Is the man well? Maybe a call to the local IFA to have a word with him about it. It's not right what he's doing, if he's not in his full health a full on DVO/CoCo assault won't help.

On the other hand, if he's just a bollocks, fire ahead.

He would not be a troll if he took a picture and allowed us to see the dead sheep.

And as casual as you like, he says this farmer would shoot a dog for even looking at a sheep, never mind getting into the field with the sheep.
So apparently this farmer lets sheep die in the field by the new time, (five have been witnessed by the OP's intrepid wife) the same farmer also rides around in a battered pick up truck, shooting dogs on sight! All the while nobody takes any notice, and nothing is done about this farmer.

Seems farmers are turning feral these days. He might settle down once the auld disadvantaged area payments arrive -:)

bogmandan · 24-09-2012 08:26PM

oh and black smoke i'll get u a photo of the sheep if thats wat turns u on

royalmeath · 24-09-2012 08:49PM

Maybe the farmer will tell the dvo that your dog killed his sheep so as far as he is concerned you can get rid of it.
He might also argue that you are the one who should be up before a judge because you cannot keep your wild sheep
killing dogs under control.
I am not attacking you here i am merely suggesting that this fella might not take this easy, and if the carcass is near your house
wellhe is going to know who made the complaint.
So what i would suggest is you take a photo of the carcass in the field, then approach the farmer and tell him to sort it out or you are
going to ring the dvo. If he abuses you then get in and get dialling

bogmandan · 24-09-2012 09:15PM

thanks royalmeath,,,yes that wud b a possible outcome for me,,,but my dogs are not wild sheep killing dogs'he is jus to old to b lookin after sick sheep,,,this particular sheep was coughing badly every nite for weeks,,i told him about the sheep,and he siad fck him,,what can u do with sumone with that atitude towards animals welfare,,,and thats another thing its not just about the dead sheep,,he pulls up every few weeks with sheep he just bought at the market,,,,does not look up or down at them for weeks,,,,they walk in,,, after a week in the field everyone of them is limping around,,,the wool falls off them ,,i'm told thats cause theres no nutreiants in the grass,,wat grass there is,,,its mostly reeds,,,,jaysus lads this is a great place,,,,i'm lettin loads of steam off,,,,,i feelin better already,,,,,i think i'll go out get the carcass,put it in the car and bring up to the farmer and leave it at his door,,,,,thanks lads for all the inspiration
