Unfortunately, because they have been removed from the premises there is nothing the SSPCA can do, even if we reported them. We had the same situation with Jack and Poppy, 2 goats, Jack was so thin the vet couldn't find any muscle to give an intramusclar injection. He reported Jack's condition, but because we had removed him, they could do nothing as they cannot prove the animal was ever there. Initially, I just thought the people decided they didn't want the sheep, but the actual state they are in, is neglect. I'm sorry but if you say you will take on the responsibility of an animal you are then obliged to look after it, books and the internet are easily accessable! What really worries me is the neighbours took on 2 goats and a pig, I hope they are more caring about their welfare. |

Just a quick update on the sheep, then off to bed. They are doing well and now know what hay and coarse mix are, their feet are still a problem and are very sore. We have discovered that the 'new owners' have actually had the sheep for 4 years, and in all that time, have obviously never bothered to find out how to look after them, and in fact were quite willing to have them PTS. I will never understand people! |

Glad to hear they are eating. Hopefully their feet will be ok after some of your tlc! I think people take on sheep thinking they are easy care, nothing could be less true. We have one ewe who refuses to eat any hard feed or hay at all, and every year she teaches her lambs to do the same!!! Hope they continue to do well for you. |
