I like how it says "we encourage people not to disturb setts wherever possible" - no mention of cows!

The report says:   <<    The cow emerged with just a few scratches  >>
 
and there was me thinking it was a week old bull calf  :cow:     See, I'm competing with Rosemary for the pedant award  :excited:

The comments are interesting too - just read this one -

Quote

"This would be the same RSPCA in Cornwall who took my husband in for questioning when we had to dig our elderly blind Spaniel out of a disused badger sett. We were very "open and honest about the situation" as we had phoned them for help. Seems they have one rule for one person and one for another. Their advice to us was leave the dog for 48 hours and he might slim down and get out !! The farmer did the right thing but he can expect the RSPCA to treat him like a criminal."

Can you believe the abject cruelty the RSPCA actually suggested to this couple - to leave their old blind dog to starve!!!!!!

The more I hear those five initials the more I dread to see what they are doing next. :rant:
