Hi Coleen,
Its good to here fro you, hope that you are ok.Sorry to here that this bloody
bulling is still going on. I got on board this group just because of that, to try
and support Carolyn Hoff and her five pet sheep.Jesus I am furious, can you give me the Hq, where DERFA are the vets name and I will give them a ring.And if don,t mind me asking, are you ok to take call,s yourself if so can you give me your number and the good people you are trying to protect. If I am correct Carolyn took an aphadavid out on the police to protect her home.Alas it didn,t work in the end where she lived, would it work where you are, it is just a thought for a delaying tactic.If there is anything I can do
please let me know.

Sad, that almost six months into FMD and millions of healthy animals
destroyed that there are still people out there who do NOT know their
rights.
Christine has pet goats and 1 pig. Yesterday she was bullied by a female
TVI to have her animals destroyed after some tested positive. The blood
tests done by a DEFRA Vet were not numbered, sealed – or any of the other
guidelines adhered to.
These animals have been in doors since last Sept, monitored daily, 4 kids
all raised and perfectly healthy – these were not blood tested neither was
the pig.
Their own Vet who is also our Vet and the one who did our blood tests told
Chrisitine to ring us – (there are some good guys – and thank God for
them)!
After speaking to her we rang Jane and the ball was set rolling. At 12.30
last night the final message to Christine the owner was are your exits
barricaded, NO was the answer – then go and do it. She did not understand
how these people can operate.
Duncan has gone round to sit outside the property as when Christine spoke
to
the TVI this morning and told them what Burgess and Salmon had said the
TVI
refused to comment as to what she was going to do. She had intially said
that Christines 4 hours appeal time was well and truly up!!
These people have a mentally disabled son who has had to be sent away to
spare him this – he understands that something is happening and is not
happy!
We have managed to raise a few other people to go and give them support.
We will keep you posted – but hopefully they will get a retest and their
own
Vet has said he will do it.
Been missing from this group – due to personnnel problems but still here
and
still a 'fully' signed up member.
