banned from farm

[UKtramp]

well as an animal lover and a protector of wildlife, I delivered to a farm today, after stepping out of my cab I noticed a sheep that looked lame and in my opinion was looking depressed. I went over to the field to take a closer look, whilst looking at it a car was blowing its horn and the driver making hand gestures at me. I went over and it was the farm owner, he asked what was I looking at and I told him, anyway he said never you mind that just get your load tipped you are not here as a vet. I told him I was concerned for the animals welfare and wanted a look at it. He said either tip or get off my farm. I asked him if he was going to get a vet out. He told me to f off, I did of course ring the rspca who said they would send someone out. When I got back to yard I was told I was banned from delivering to the farm again. I think I did the right thing, I was concerned but I wonder how many others would have helped that poor sheep or just ignored it?

The sheep looked depressed?

The farmer possibly thought you were off your nut mate!

it might have been more informative to the farmer if you offered to read this out to him and also bore him crapless instead of the rest of us for a change.

Maybe it was a LGBT sheep.

They are having a hard time of it just now. An off day maybe?

Here we go again. How many months of this crap daily are we going to be subjected to this time?

[The-Snowman]

I delivered to a stables once and saw a horse that looked sad so I asked it
"Why the long face?"

Nah he was fine, i saw him later and asked him outright "are you sad or upset?" To which he replied "naaay"





I'll get my coat..

Super trucker, super fridge engineer and now sheep whisperer/animal psychologist! Wonders never cease with you mate, a man of stupendous talent and intellect. I must say I was expecting it to take longer than a couple of days before your posts started getting out of hand but I suppose your just going balls deep straight off the bat. Most likely much like you did with said sheep! Its not the farmer or the sheep that needs looking at its you!

[SuperMultiBlue]

None of this happened

[mdourish]

It wasn't depressed til you started talking to it

+1...

[robroy]

Maybe the farmer didn't like you hitting on his girlfriend.
She maybe ''looked depressed'' as you say, because he had maybe been putting it about in another field.
You shouldn't get involved in countryside domestics mate.

Maybe he'd gone off her as she was a bit FRIDGEid
Thank you very much.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ no doubt most of us.
isnt premod/ban a great thing sometimes?
possibly the farmer took umbrage when asked." can i make a ewe turn down here mate?"
though id imagine when asked "are you shearing that sheep"?? the reply might have been...........no,bugger off and find one of your own.
the sad thing is once again that this incident never happened so its all irrelevant.

It's worth noting that in such cases you may be entitled to whistleblower protection. Customers may be liable directly if, as a form of retaliation against the raising of legitimate concerns, they victimise individual workers (including contractors)

[Rowley010]

If this is true the guy sounds like a right prick. Yeah you could say the welfare of his animals are none of your business but sounds like an uncalled for response to someone who is just concerned for an animal. Do you get a lot of farmers with attitudes like that or are they normally reasonable to deal with?

[Sploom]

He thought you were trying to pull the wool over his eyes by ringing the RSPCA without telling him!

Let's look at the story, did he tip you, you never said, and if he did did he call you all the names under the sun while he was tipping you, also what did he say when you asked him to sign the paper work
Me thinks this person is not uk tramp the posts don't have his signature persona about them, and that's been a fly by night blow in who blows up everything in his own mind and would make a story out of anything
Whoever it is is not doing a very good job

Baaaah humbug!

[Grumpy Dad]

When I passed my Class 1, it qualified me to drive an articulated vehicle, maybe I should have gone to the James Herriot School of Driving and I too could diagnose animals health and well-being along my route.

Perhaps, but if the animal was dragging it's leg the farmer should be focused on that, ....I qualified as a veterinary auxiliary and trained in abattoirs, i found it staggaring the amount of poor condition/ sick/ bably injured animals that was presented...I was so appalled I quit when I got the ticket.... although some farmers correctly cared for there animals...an almost equal number did not. Bit of a taboo subject I guess and a bit like daring to suggest some nurses for example are uncaring....I admire the guy for raising his concerns....

Does anyone know what this cow trying to tell me

3 possibilities:

1) If its a South Devon then "Ge' off my land...!"
2) According to UKtramp it has Borderline Personality Disorder
3) It might be just a bit moooody.
