Dead sheep in Bloody River
« on: April 07, 2012 »
Just a heads up to anyone going Boldering at the Bloody Bridge river that there is a dead sheep at the crossing point near the quarry so try not to swallow any water :-X

We once went on a trip in primary school up the Mournes.... I drunk the water and further upstream we found a sheep not unlike that one. For the next 3 days I had the heap: vomiting, fever, hallucinations... everything .... it was crazy! Beware!  ;D ..... although in a strange kind of way after everything was over it felt kind of cleansing. I'd lost a load of weight and it was almost like my system had purged itself. Was left feeling quite serene although it might have just been the residual effects of the fever!

I think someone should report that, so it can be removed.

You can be sure the farmer knows its there,anyway know one would take responsibly for it,the wildlife will do the job for us,again it's just proves the point about carrying your own water when you can & if you can't ,use the water purification tablets

I'd agree with the farmer more than likely knowing its there. The thing is they would then have to pay for it to be disposed off, so its cheaper leaving it be.

the farmer may not actually know as there are many farmers up there, then you have the problem of which farmer is responsible, i'd like to think that some group would go and remove these as we don't want to put off our tourists by having eyesores like this around, but which group, does MHT do this sort of thing? or is it a council issue?

Pretty sure it would be a whoever owns the land issue.

But then again if it was public ground they can easily turn around and say well its your sheep you have to get rid of it.

I'd imagine the sheep possibly had an ID tag? And again I'm imagining, but would the owner not check his sheep on a regular basic, which would be a smaller time frame of how long that sheep has been there? Guessing on its decay. Again, don't quote me on any of this, just thoughs.
