Car with Sheep but no tax or insurance and police saying they cant charge anyone unless they know the owner.

Surely driving without insurance?

Sounds like the police are having the wool pulled over their eyes.

The 'ownership' is in relation to sheep-based offences, not the motoring ones!

Glad they stopped him, the sheep could have been injured if the car had been wrapped around some lambpost

Hardly a wonder people skip insurance with the way they try to fleece people.

[Drawweight]

Surprised we didn’t read about that in the Wool Street Journal.

Hopefully they could find a suitable organ doner.

Wonder if this is the guy I used to work with who would buy a sheep for various ceremonies, claim it was taken to an abattoir but often let slip it was slaughtered in the back garden.

The driver thought he had purchased a dog. It was not until he was pulled over that he realized he was baaaaaking up the wrong tree.
I hope the police were sure to Ram the point home that it was unsafe to carry such a large animal in the car.

I bet they are minted

[JuanCarlosFandango]

They're now on the lam.

[Getragdogleg]

If they are found they'll have to dip in their wallet.

That was on its way to a kebab house.

I think we were trying to stay off that subject.

[Esceptico]

For flocks sake. I’m a Bitzer confused by the article - Shirley they can find the Farmer that supposedly sold them the sheep?

The Gloucestershire police stopped someone earlier today who had travelled from Cornwall. The driver was discovered to have a boot full of chickens.

Turns out not only was the bloke a disqualified driver,he his also banned from owning animals.
