Fillies and cow killed Fillies and cow killed

ANOTHER four animals have been killed on New Forest roads.

A brown filly was badly injured in a hit-andrun incident on the B3055 at Latchmoor, and the animal had to be destroyed by one of the agisters.

A cow was killed on the C10 at Goatspen and a grey filly was put down following a collision on the same road on the following day.

The fourth accident involved a roan filly that was killed on the B3078 at Claypits.

.. and, meanwhile, 600 million other animals meet a premature death every year in UK slaughterhouses.

Keep it up! I am glad you think the death of animals on New Forest roads owing to the stupidity of motorists driving too fast is an excuse for jokes.
Please remember it is your responsibility to drive bearing in mind the forest animals.

That shows how little you know about the countryside and its traditions, just stick to your town living with all the chavs and leave the understanding of the rural lifestyle to those who care about it

Hi Geoff,
You have a really strong opinion and I'm reporting on this story for my Uni's online news site. If you wouldn't mind I'd love an email interview.
If you're interested you can contact me through my Facebook page (DC on the Couch) or my Twitter (@DContheCouch)
Much obliged,

- DC.
