>but the three lambs taken from the Sandringham estate, Sammy, Sunny and Sooty, remain missing
Aw, how sweet that the purveyors of the Sandringham Estate decided to name the lambs. You can obviously tell that they care *so* much for ~~their money~~ the lambs welfare. I wonder if they name the others before they send them to be shackled upside down by their legs with their throat’s slit open.
If it were dogs or cats they’d be hailed as heroes.
Vegans in this thread are hilarious.
Either they are disingenuous or far down the rabbit hole that they can’t comprehend that farmers care about their animals. No they must hate them from the second they are born and inflict fear and abuse on them.
That’s why people become farmers because they fucking hate animals.
My concern with this type of action is occasionally it backfired spectacularly. In the 70s a group released thousands of mink from a fur farm in Devon. Now morality of the practice not withstanding. Those mink and their offspring have now covered the majority of the mainland. The mink have massacred native wildlife, ground nesting birds and riverbank mammals as they have spread. Man made, certainly, climate driven extinction, not so much.
Why do none meat eaters get so offended at the fact that other people eat meat?
Are we not allowed to live in unity or does it have to be the vegan way only?
**HOLD UP…**
**How do they know those lambs were going to be slaughtered?**
​
Not all male lambs are slaughtered and given the royal family’s long history of pedigree breeding. I imagine there’d be demand for breeding rams from their flock.
​
They were still with their mothers, so they weren’t weaned yet.
I don’t like seeing baby animals taken from their home and their family.
Where are they now? I hope they’re with other sheep and being taken care of properly.
​
Even if they were been taken for slaughter next week, these lambs are out on grass having a GREAT life.
Living with one of the wealthiest familys in Britain, who have many expert staff and years of experience in farming.
Instead of fighting ALL farming – why not push for higher and higher standards of welfare. And an older age they have to be slaughtered at.
Thus making meat more expensive and less attractive to consumers.
MONEY. Money is how you tackle this issue. Lower demand.
​
And if you want to be a hero…
Instead of stealing lambs from a great farm like this – maybe steal some animals from truly terrible conditions.
​
I admire those trying to change the system, but I’m not sure this is the way to go about it.
Cute lambs being turned into lamb meat hasn’t bothered the general public for hundreds of years…I don’t think this stunt is going to change any minds.
But I hope these wee sheep live long lives with someone who knows how to care for them.
Charles is allegedly an environmentalist and a ‘flexitarian (a nonsense term used by people who want to pretend they are doing something meaningful), so he should not object to such actions on principle. Theft is wrong but his own morals should mean that he sees no issue with people stopping needless slaughtering of animals, just like anyone against animal cruelty should be.
Oh an animal welfare story, here come the vegans to justify breaking the law to try to force people to adopt their way of life.
