Gatekeeping (2)

Following on from the previous post it needs emphasising that gates are instruments of control. They force the public to use this point of access and take the opportunity to lecture us using propaganda pinned to the gateposts where most people will see it.


I understand that a response to the yellow notice on the gatepost above was pinned below. It was removed within a day presumably by the farmer or the wildlife trust who've never been keen on exchange of views. Here is the original notice which is still there and below is the text of the notice pulled down.



What is not said on that notice is that cruelty and neglect towards sheep in this area has been most prevalent in members of the farming community. See this post. At the time I was not aware of notices being put up telling farmers to behave responsibly and I was not aware of the N$A or the N£U nor Natural England or the PDNPA or Sheffield City Council taking urgent action to deal with the problem.


 NEWS JUST IN:


An owl has been found trapped on the barbed wire that was erected by Sheffield Wildlife Trust to contain their cattle. There have been many complaints that barbed wire is not suitable for a wildlife site.
