At my previous house, all my neighbours shot all strange dogs running
loose on sight. Whether or not the owner was present.

They even shot one another's dogs. Now there was a recipe for a feud.

Less easy in these days of animal identification, movement records and

Last week on one of the farms I work on I was most delighted to see a dead
cow been dragged down the road by a tractor. It had died overnight, was
removed from the barn and brought into isolation. A vet attended not long
after and a couple of hours later the corpse was taken away by a firm that
deals with such things.

I assume this one needed a record of death as it was supposed to be prime
beef.

And the other farm (derelict) needs something to catch rats. I went there
the other night at about 7pm to pick up some tools. I saw about 30 rats as I
drove into the property. I might take my parents Border Terrier there one
night. The buggers just swarmed across the driveway. If I see 30 rats then
how many are out of sight?

To be slightly fair to the vet, they pay through the nose for a lot of
items that are 'veterinary' grade and they know it's ********, but
they have to. If they're found using non-vet grade medications they
can get seriously ****ed-over by the Vet Council (or whoever it is)
and struck off if things go wrong.
