SIR, Whenever I come and stay with my family in the Wye Valley, I most look forward to our delightful walks with our dogs, in the countryside surrounding Penallt. On my recent visit, however, what a sorry sight and stench greeted us on one of our favourite walks: the pitiful sight of two fully grown mule ewes, ear tags roughly removed, a lamb and a bag full of newly born lambs, dead, dumped and decomposing, right next to a popular bridlepath with local dog walkers, families, visitors to the area and horse riders. One month has now passed. The area looks like a crime scene, a rectangle of red and white tape, surrounding the sorry sight, and a very sad reminder of the callous and irresponsible act of an individual who doesn't have the decency to dispose of his dead animals in the proper way. This is not the sort of sight that you would expect to be greeted with in an area which prides itself in being a tourist destination as well as a thriving agricultural area. The rotting, putrid corpses are still there for all to see. So come on whoever did this, you know who you are. Get these bodies removed. Our fields should be full of thriving livestock not our woods full of their stinking remains. (Name and address supplied)
