Get In Touch On Cull Pay

Originally from: Dan Jay
                        
I read this letter in today's FG and it is an absolute disgrace that this person has not received any compensation for losing sheep in April 2001............

My sheep were culled on April 4 2001, and to date I have not received any payment for them.

They were slaughtered in the 3 km cull, which incidentally was five weeks after the neighbouring farm was confirmed with FMD. My sheep were perfectly healthy and yet were still slaughtered. I'm quite sure they could have been tested, found to be healthy and lefct alone, along with numerous other sheeps within this area, particularly as they had been left for five weeks anyway.

Are there any of your readers that had animals culled and not yet received any paymewnt for them? If so could they please contact me and maybe together we can get compensastion payments for these animals.

Up to now I have written numerous letters to DEFRA scottish Ececutive and local MP's but no-one is interested.
