It makes you wonder what makes people tick sometimes. If the farm was vastly overstocked; they must have spent money buying it in, or had stock for sale, so why didn't they do what was necessary to feed them. They must be really callous, uncaring, ignorant or plain stupid to allow animals to live in such conditions. How can anyone stand by watching animals starve to death or live in conditions so bad that they can't even lie down somewhere dry. Having financial problems may not make looking after them any easier, but there are things that can be done to make their lives more comfortable.

    Maybe this is something the Governments should take a long hard look at, if it's an economy related problem. They should look at the causes of this situation and try to eradicate this scenario, either by recruiting more animal welfare officers or making sure that all farms are registered with a Vet and have visits at least four times a year. Maybe some farmers can't afford regular treatment from Vets but something should be done to monitor the welfare of all animals on farms. This cannot be allowed to happen.  :( :(

It should never happen in a nation of so-called "animal lovers" but sadly it does.  The really sad thing is that it is this minority that give all livestock owners a bad name as the majority do look after their animals well.  

If you own a kennels (AND are registered) you are subject to inspection but if you have commercial livestock there appears to be no welfare checks except by accident.  

Every livestock farmer has a holding number, has to have passports for every animal, must record all movements on/off his holdings but no one checks on the condition of the beasts unless you have a contract such as Waitrose offer. DEFRA leaves it up to the farmer/owner to report notifiable diseases (BSE, F&M, Bluetongue etc).  So we have a situation where the responsible owners will report (and suffer the consequences) but those who never call in a vet, could not care less are left to their own devices.  

It is intolerable.
