    Same. The report is quite contradictory with the vet initially confirming bullet wounds but the goes on to say no bullets or bullet holes were found?
    To walk in 1k with enough gear would be some big grudge, even for the South Island.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Seriously?? What else could have done this??

    Dog vs bullet, should be an obvious difference

    I can't remember putting dog anywhere in my post but I doubt its a dog. I'm more intrigued at how quickly we are all ready to run with the gun idea because of shit reporting.
    The thread is titled "300 sheep SHOT" and yet there is not a case, bullet or vet report to suggest this is fact. The article does not allow for anything other than shooting but does a 180 turn with confirmed bullet wounds to start, then another line saying no bullets or bullet holes were found in autopsy.
    It does look as though they were shot, but until then Id rather keep a more open mind to other possibilities that's all or does nothing get sick down south?
    Another concern is, there is now a perception that Jason Bourne himself is running amuck doing ovine black-ops with evil guns using freestanding grips in South Canterbury. Nice reporting.
