Many had tried but were caught because of the dogs.His brother worked in the freezing works. Contacted him. Pulled in 2 mates and they snuck it. Before they got to the dog kennels he told his mates to cut a long manuka branch with forks at top. They laughed at him. Out came the strips of beef and were attached to the stick.Told his mates to hoist the stick in the air and walk to the kennels which were on a bend. He told them the dogs could smell and hear them before they saw them.He surmised the dogs had an exclusive diet of mutton and the tantalising smell of beef would quiet them. Came to kennels. Picked out the lead dog and fed him first then the rest. Not a howl. Out the back nailed 2 stags. On the way back another feed of heart and liver. They did this for years. In spring they gave the dogs 1/2 the velvet as another treat.Took in a hacksaw blade. The rest was for the local chinese market gardener well before viagra was in vogue. He said he never sold meat and only took meat to feed his family. Bloody hard case.

You mix with some rat bags alright.
