Bloody hell. Hope they find the bastards.
When i read it these two thoughts were in my mind......
Suppressed AR with FMJ ammo
Night vision gear
Hitting the same place twice makes it look personal, not just picking farms at random. Hope they find them and throw the book at them.
totally unrelated: ive got 800kg of of lamb chops and x500 .300 blackout brass going cheap if anyones interested. PM me
Just me being cynical but if they cant find any cartridges, bullets or bullet holes, then maybe they should look at something other than being shot as to why they are dead and dying.
It has got to be aliens with some sophisticated ray-type weapons
People do funny things when holding a grudge. Like smash calfs with a hammer, let milk out, burn down property and trash houses... If there's a murder soon it'll probably all link up :D
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.
Yeah you're right, must be sheep suicide on a massive scale.
I cant for the life of me think what else could have done it apart from gun shots?
Didn't Ewan MacDonald's farm assistant move to the South Island?
A) Drink the Gatorade ...
B) You have seen the movie "Black Sheep" ...
Peter Jackson is up to his old tricks. Classic scene from 'Bad Taste'. It must have been a rocket launcher :D
Seriously though wtf happened? Will be interesting to see what comes out.
I'm picking a Muslamb suicide bomber
saw something on country calendar once and it said, younger sheep plus ragwort (I think it was ragwort) plus water will most likely end in death (Especially in early winter). well I think that's what they said. could explain the deaths.
from memory they didn't go into great detail, it was highlighted as a problem for one of the large central Otago stations when they drive the stock back during early winter muster.
Seemed to be plenty of blood around the mouths of them.
to me that would indicate them eating something that thins the blood and effects the lungs, rather than being shot but I'm no vet.
Could it be a bunch of people with crossbows?
Serious financial loss for the farmer.
Wonder who he has pissed off... If I was him I'd be checking my troughs ASAP.
He had to go around slitting their throats? a .223 would kill and easily so surely?
So more like a 22LR? even then no evidence? no bullets?
Air pellet guns with some sort of projectile?
If this story tells us anything it is how awful the media is at getting anything right. To say 300 sheep shot then "vets have opened up a lot of carcasses and can't find any bullets or bullet holes"... Hmm pretty sure bullets make holes in things.
Surely any half decent vet could tell you if it was a gun shot or not.
In my experience, bullet wounds are pretty obvious to not be:
a dog attack, poison, a heart attack, being shagged to death, death from old age, a slit throat, a car crash, a 4 wheeler crash, a cyclist being hit by a bus etc etc.
What a bunch of cuntarses to have done this - I don't understand these people at all
It's fucken weird, all sorts of shit being said around here, I'm as much in the dark as anyone.
