They would be classed wild animals as opposed to livestock, would you not be able to bury them?0 -

It's a very grey area, you willfully killed them, so for environmental reasons if you want not to pollute water etc the €25 route to me is the simplest option, Your knacker might do a good deal on a few.
Bodhrán makers either, although greyhounds make better bodhráns these days
I can't stand the smell of goat, i have shot a few and had to burn the clothes after0 -

Well the way I see it is if there wandering on the farm that you shoot deer on and robbing feed from his livestock and the farmer wants em out....There fair game..
Im sure the females would make good dog meat and I hear the kids make a great curry..
If you need a hand My 300 winnie is itching for a bit of action;)
And my dog could do with some fresh meat...
And im fond of a good curry...
u have no shame

"John,
as you state in your email there is a prohibition on the burial of fallen stock, except in remote areas where it is permitted under licence. This prohibition is set out in the EU regulations on animal by-products, notably Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002. Those regulations do not apply to wild animals.
I am not aware of a specific provision banning the burial of wild animals.
Regards,
Animal By-products Section
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food
Block B, Grattan Business Centre
Portlaoise
Co. Laois
Ireland"
Not sure it solves the issue, lol.
The Devil can quote scripture for his own purpose.
I understand that answer. However, If one shot 30 goats and buried them in a mass grave it would be on a different department it would be more an EPA issue.
1 WILD goat may be ok to bury, but 20-30 could be seen as beyond the ethos of the animal by products section.
I'm not disagreeing, it's just giving the caveat that it is a grey area.
If you take a dump in the woods it is OK, once you bury it. If you empty your septic tank in it it's a different story.
Maybe I am been too cautious but i'd prefer not to get caught by an EPA rep trying to make a name for themselves.
I have some knowledge of the EPA and they are very powerful about anything to do with the environment.
So I would shoot 1 at a time And bury 1 at a time, thats my point 0 -

Ah, I think you may have mistaken my meaning earlier, we're actually in agreement. I was not saying to bury them "on the quiet" and hope not to get caught, so as to save a few Euro. That's why I said I'd carefully examine the grey areas, so as to find a license or other permission to get a lad in with a machine, and do it properly in the right location.
The only familiarity I have with goat shooting is the reports of two other lads on a different site. Get 30 at the one time
5-7 was the most I saw in any photo.
€5-750 I'd be expecting the problem to be solved either permanently or for a very long time!0 -

I know, and you know. Now everbody else knows too!;)
I was just making sure we were both reading from the same hymn sheet:D
It might discourage a mass cull, in favor of a more traditional approach.
I know of a few herds of Goats! They are supposed to bring good luck, they eat a lot of Toxic weeds that do cattle harm
And they are owned by the Fairy's:D 0 -
