    Not all that funny if your animals are stolen.

    And just like ISIS oil, the cnuts that buy the product from them are just as bad as they are.

    Unless the tags are switched which means a bit of forward planning in order to have ID cards to match, people are technically buying bits of them :pac:

    Unscrupulous butchers, hoteliers, shopowners, boyos in Citroen Berlingos that go around housing estates, take your pick.

    Heard on the news there was a 10 grand reward now as part of a new scheme to combat it? Who funds it?

    Chip all the cattle and gps track them.It will cost a bit but insurance companies should insist on it and maybe some government grants to subsides them as well.
    In other cow news this made me sad ..poor cows.. fairly shook after this I would say.
