Thread: nearly 300 sheep shot in north otago.

To walk in 1k with enough gear would be some big grudge, even for the South Island.

Seriously?? What else could have done this??

Dog vs bullet, should be an obvious difference

I can't remember putting dog anywhere in my post but I doubt its a dog. I'm more intrigued at how quickly we are all ready to run with the gun idea because of shit reporting.
The thread is titled "300 sheep SHOT" and yet there is not a case, bullet or vet report to suggest this is fact. The article does not allow for anything other than shooting but does a 180 turn with confirmed bullet wounds to start, then another line saying no bullets or bullet holes were found in autopsy.
It does look as though they were shot, but until then Id rather keep a more open mind to other possibilities that's all or does nothing get sick down south?
Another concern is, there is now a perception that Jason Bourne himself is running amuck doing ovine black-ops with evil guns using freestanding grips in South Canterbury. Nice reporting.

Yeah you're right, must be sheep suicide on a massive scale.

I cant for the life of me think what else could have done it apart from gun shots?

Problem is the murder you are alluding too never did link up with all the other misdeeds.

Even with the stamina of the South Island boys, there is no way they could have been shagged to death...way too many, unless it was a whole football team of them.

Didn't Ewan MacDonald's farm assistant move to the South Island?

A) Drink the Gatorade ...

B) You have seen the movie "Black Sheep" ...

Peter Jackson is up to his old tricks. Classic scene from 'Bad Taste'. It must have been a rocket launcher

Seriously though wtf happened? Will be interesting to see what comes out.

I'm picking a Muslamb suicide bomber

saw something on country calendar once and it said, younger sheep plus ragwort (I think it was ragwort) plus water will most likely end in death (Especially in early winter). well I think that's what they said. could explain the deaths.

Does it make them bleed profusely?

from memory they didn't go into great detail, it was highlighted as a problem for one of the large central Otago stations when they drive the stock back during early winter muster.

Seemed to be plenty of blood around the mouths of them.

to me that would indicate them eating something that thins the blood and effects the lungs, rather than being shot but I'm no vet.
