wow and he offered you the animal so generous. i would suggest not excepting it and why on earth are you paying for its care. contact the rspca/sspca and get them to take it away not your responsabilty to be the mug landed with the bill.

Well done on all your efforts for this animal. Hard to believe the owners think so little of it, but I suppose that's what happens when you do things on a much bigger scale. Keep up the good work, and I hope that, if you keep her, she turns into a really good, productive ewe for you x

No, Liz, it's not.

Owners capable of neglecting their charges are a type of person not a scale of operation.

Agree. And by taking on the animal, even if it is free (or free-ish), just reaffirms to the original owner that this sort of behaviour is acceptable, and that he/she doesn't need to take responsibility.

I commend you for your efforts of course, but I fear that this should have been reported.

Quite. At the end of the day, even if you are short of cash, a bullet costs 40p.
