Thread: nearly 300 sheep shot in north otago.

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?

Extremely good possibility Josh.

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.

In my experience you are right Beavis

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.

Well..."it tis the south"...there is only two places in this country that real weird shit happens...one is the South and the other is the Naki...oh, and sometimes Wairoa.

Weird alright!! Been thinking about this a wee bit - if someone was shooting these with a reasonable brand of off the shelf, high caliber hunting cartridge, that's about $500 worth of ammo and that's not allowing for the odd miss.
If they were shot, I'm picking it would have been someone with a .17 HMR or similar, 5 or so packets of ammo would fill his pockets, projectiles fragmenting leaving few "bullet heads" behind and a high wound rate.
I've watched heaps of CSI lately, so I've profiled this character as being, quite young, fucking stupid, has access to a farmers gun (tut tut), played heaps of shooting video games and doesn't give a fuck about people or animals. I reckon they want to look close at hand, maybe a mate of a farmers son, a local farm hand, a townie kid on holiday at the Uncles farm etc.
That is, if they have actually been shot - I know first hand how reporters twist the truth to juice up a story.
I am merely speculating of course, and I know I probably shouldn't, but this is way out there - to hard not to have an opinion

That's why I mentioned FMJ 223 ammo

Fuck knows, sure is weird. Mainstream media did a knock up job of not knowing anything all but being sensational. I have noticed that for how mental/sick it seems it is, there really hasn't been much coverage. On that point alone I call Bullshit! See what happens I guess. EDIT: After reading everything that came up on google search of "sheep shot dead oamaru" I have no seen two news reports alike and cant make any sense of it. In some stories the Cocky says the Vet didn't find any evidence of gunshot wounds, yet in others says the sheep "had been shot in the head and some had legs shot off"

Fucking Media!!!
