There's a hunt kennels in Houston Julia - they'll take cattle & sheep, but not pigs. But I guess that's a bit far for you?

america?

It's not that far from us, but anytime we go over that way one of us always comes out with Houston, we're coming in to land

Please can someone explain the term 'Hunt kennels' to me, and explain who or what they are and what they do in relation to killing/removing sick animals off a smallholding? I mean, I am guessing that it is a place where dogs are kept for hunting purposes... but what has that got to do with a sick or elderly farm animal?

Thanks in anticipation

they feed that animal to the hounds saves them from buying n meat to feed them

Our local hunt kennel told me they didn't take pigs because the dogs don't like pork, obviously no one told my 3 that.

Hunt kennels is where they keep the hunting hounds. They often offer a stock dispatch and disposal service to the local area - and generally, will do a humane and sensitive job.

Re: dogs not eating pork - the kennels will feed meat raw. There used to be - and may still is, I'm not up-to-date on these things - a very rare but very lethal bug that was found in uncooked pork. Salmonella cholerei suis, or something of the such which. Because of this, people my age don't feed raw pork : although the risk of the meat carrying this bug is tiny, the consequences would be too great to take the risk.

There could be another reason, but that'd be my guess.

Normally, larger hunt kennels have approved incinerators for disposing of unwanted bits of carcasses etc. That's why they are often recommended as places for unwanted/dead animals.
