reported in this weeks 'Horningsham times' :
".... sutch is the problem lately that the parish is considering asking for help from the county constabulary,and on occasion some disreputable types or poachers have been seen to 'seed' the roads of the parish with corn from the opened window of an automobile,and then seen to return after some minutes and deliberately run down the Game birds that feed upon the cast-said corn which belong to the Estate of his Grace the 17th Earl of Somerset.
The Horningsham times can report that the local police community support officer ,Martin Dames actually witnessed one occasion,he stated
"i was going about my routine patrol duties when i came accross what i believed was an RTA (road traffic accident),as it was on a nasty bend just up past Harries oak,i turned on my blue lights,when i got out my vehicle it became apparent that one gentle man had come around the corner and hit about 7 pheasants,and another gent was helping gather the badly injured and dying birds,he told me he was a local locum veterany surgeon and would take them streight to his surgery for emergency treatment.
I helped load the said birds into the boot of his car mwhene he assured me they would be fine.The vet left at some speed,it was then that i noticed the corn all over the road,and it dawned on me that this clearly was a case of 'road seeding'."
Clearly this band of poachers are ruthless and will stop at nothing to satisfy their appetite for public disobeidience.
Frank Winters head game keeper on the Estate urges the readers to phone him or crime stoppers should they see any suspicious behaviour in or around the estate."
whoed ever live in sutch a crime ridden area eh! _________________
they have to seed the roads around there? down in Dulverton a lot of birds are killed when the steering and brakes suddenly play up.
The road even has signs with pictures of ducks on them but try as I might I have never seen a duck so don't try to avoid them.
Tis a F'kn liberty how they try to blame poor stock management and cerial spillages on the innocent motorists wearing green jerkins and flat caps clearing up the mess and maybe getting a free dinner in the process.
is anyone else AMAZED that the cop actually fell for the vet excuse/lie! if thats how smart the cops are in england, Im on my way boys! after all that breast inspectors license of mine doesnt upkeep itself _________________ "Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far" Theodore Roosevelt,
