Sudbury Butchers window display

Is that a squirrel scampering along the rail upside down to the left of the "deer"?

While I agree it's shocking I can't Agree that it's a case for all of us to be forced to do some qualification to shoot deer , I'm very much against forced training for stalking some of us have learned from experianced stalkers and know right from wrong without a bit of paper

The isn't about forced training Jimbo but about traceability and trained hunter status necessary to legally put meat into the food chain. If the farmer had kept the doe for his own use none would probably have known any different. If this story is true it asks more than a few questions about the butcher and how careful is he in sourcing his meat for resale!

 

[NickJ]

Maybe it's was pay back time for your previous wind ups knowing that it would probably end up on here.
how did they get the roe to lift it's head up???

Rigor mortis probably set in when the poor thing lay squashed in the back of the farmer's pick up overnight..

 

[Pedro]

Those white things, and indeed the brown things with white tails look like blue (mountain) hares to me, although it's hard to be exact. Not sure a local farmer in East Anglia will see too many of them around to shoot.

True I see your point sir , but the original comment was that this is surely the case for all of us to have some sort ofqualification , not really in my view .... However as you say the butchers themselves should know better , if this is a true story .

The perspective is all wrong in the photo. The roe looks like it is six feet in front of everything else, yet in the photo is is hanging on the same rail.

It's a poor bit of Photoshopping.

 

[patjack]

I didn't think butchers were allowed to hang game in fur and feather,I know the butcher I supply too isn't everything has to be skinned or plucked
unless your mate actually saw this hanging I would say its a hoax

Theres plenty of butchers that still hang them fully clothed.
Paddy's in Much Wenlock quite a few in Ludlow and visit Birmingham meat market and there every where..

If you look closely you'll see its front legs are holding it forward at an angle. Also its head and neck are also forward. Not quite 6 feet, but enough to make it look like you describe. Rigor mortis!

Some is owed h4h a tenner. The head is photoshopped on. Blow it up you can see the clip board on the table has the corner cut off. The carcass is hanging 90 degrees to the rail on the hook it appears. Carcass might have been there but head is added.

i know which butcher this is and i can personally verify this is a legitimate picture , although the butchers have been known in the past to sell wombles and keep a hand reared breeding pack of haggis.

 

[paul o']

until some one is banged up it will carry on sadly its life , we never had any problems selling game or other to the butchers before the nanny state stepped in fur fluff did't matter years ago, now it has to have xyz stamp or this sticker that to eat it .again it's the times we live in .but i shall be doing my dsc next year i feel its crepping up on all stalkers alike happy or sad it will be the norm in the end and no i don't agree in poachers or dark o'clook shooting for deer thats my feelings and my choice. the butcher should know the rules of meat etc if he is acting in a wrong manner the law should apply to him/them,but i would't mind betting it long gone by now.

 

[deerstalker.308]

MS has raised a valid point about traceability though, and one I was thinking about just the other day, which is, at what point are you no longer liable for the carcass? Obviously they get submitted with a tag attached to them which attributes them to me, but as soon as that leg gets removed during the butchering process presumably my hands are clean? what is to say that once you have signed that deer over to them in a perfect state, that it then doesn't sit in a warm sunny spot for a few hours before it gets chilled, or that someone else's poorly gralloched animal doesn't get dumped on op of it before it makes its way to the chiller....? I've never understood how you would prove any contamination occurred after it was in your custody?

That's where I send all my haggis, he will even take a haggis shot out of season and pays good money too

Why, nobody has been named? It's just a photo and some hypothetical questions. Most don't even seem to believe it is true!
I don't see how it could affect any legal outcome? If it could, then please close.

Hoax!

 

[Si]

​might not be a hoax.... this is Oxford market



but these don't have kangaroo heads photoshopped on

 

[deerly departed]

keep a DNA sample of the deer you tagged and sold. If any dispute, you can compare DNA which will show it to be the same animal or not
