Headless sheep

found in river

by Rebecca Lang

FISHERMEN made a gruesome discovery at

Yarramundi Reserve on March 4 when the

carcasses of seven sheep without heads or limbs

bobbed up at the popular recreation spot.

Earlier that day, three men were spotted

allegedly dumping the dead animals in the river

next to the old bridge before jumping in with a

fleece and dousing themselves in water.

The waterway serves as drinking water for

people living in North Richmond.

Penrith Council was alerted to the incident

and an investigation resulted in a Penrith man

being fined $750.A Council spokesman said the

man may also be liable for the clean-up costs

involved in removing the dead animals.

He said Council had also reported the incident

to the RSPCA.

McDonald’s Excavations was called in to remove

the headless carcasses and body parts from the

waterway.The incident is believed to be the second

in the district – another as yet unconfirmed report

occurred at Devlins Lane off Castlereagh Road.

Winmalee angler Mark Hodson, who witnessed

the dumping, was appalled by the act. “It’s not

nice. I like to take my kids down there li-loing

down the rapids,” he told The Gazette. “We’ll

think twice about it now.

I just don't get it- mutton and wool burley?

Only a $750 fine!!!!?????

Can't work out if they were skinning them or getting a leg of mutton and hasn't the owner of the sheep stuck a bill into this bloke?.

There is probably some other sad circumstances but .................... Headline should have been man fined $1000,000 for endangering water supply with further charges pending regarding mutilation or cruelty and then it might act as a discouragement.

I really wonder about our legal system some days
