Banned from farm

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

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?

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! :grimacing:

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.

The farmer possibly thought you were off your nut mate!

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…

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.
