How Our Sheep Were Saved From Blair's Murderers During The Foot And Mouth Massacre


During the foot and mouth epidemic which devastated the West Country, we moved our pet sheep around to keep them alive - and successfully escaped the cruel and entirely unnecessary mass slaughter ordered by our fascist Government.

I have described how we did this on page 28 of my book Saving England where the following paragraphs appear:

`Some of the daftest (and cruellest) new European legislation concerns animals.

During the last foot and mouth epidemic in Britain we were forced to move our pet sheep around in the dead of night in order to avoid the teams of Ministry vets and policemen touring the countryside intent on murdering perfectly healthy animals to appease bureaucrats sitting somewhere in Europe.

Animal lovers will be delighted to hear that we succeeded in keeping the sheep alive (and healthy) and in staying one step ahead of the bureaucrats, though the exercise did become rather complicated at times. At one point we found ourselves owning various parcels of pastureland and a plantation containing 30,000 Christmas trees, all bought to provide fresh hideaways for the sheep.

The authorities never found the sheep.
