Chasey are you sayin that someone with DSC 2 is able to discern the reason why this animal died ?
Are you actually serious, having worked with livestock and vets for most of my life, I can assure you it's not that simple, even using laboratory testing , cause of death is sometimes difficult to ascertain, due to degradation of tissue.
I am curious about what diseases people would inform defra about, TB is endemic in deer in some parts of the UK, but is not seen as a priority by defra or your local trading standards ( unless things have changed dramatically in the last two years) due to the low possibility of cross contamination with farm animals, foot and mouth, more likely to have shown up in farm animals well before someone finds a deer, anthrax now that would be a good one to ascertain by a quick look over.
Or is this just a ploy to obtain more stalking ? If so it is quite novel, but put yourself in the place of a land/ livestock holder, do you actually want someone running to Defra , TSD every time they find a dead animal ?
or give stan z a shout on yukon men his fishwheels not producing!!or the ever faithful poke it with a stick!!
d tripping hazard,
