Ive been v ill and dont have the strength to look into reporting it. My one experience of reporting animal neglect to rspca resulted in them paying a visit to the pet owners, and then animal died of neglect anyway soon afterwards. I dont have much faith in them.

mmm so if you can't be bothered to report it or do anything about it - why bother to write a post about it on here?

If you sign up to the RSPCA website you can report an issue via the website itself:
https://www.rspca.org.uk/login?p_p_id=58&_58_redirect=%2fmyrspca

That wouldn't be any more strenuous than writing a post on here about the problem surely?

Why the inpleasantness?

I was genuinely interested in why sheep in particular seem tp be allowed to suffer in this way.

I 'bothered' to start this post because Ive spent 7 months battling a nightmare illness and Ive been very isolated and wanted to somehow make contact with people. Watching a field of sheep from my sickbed has been my world and I felt sad for theiir plight. I would be the first person to report them if I felt able to, but clearly being ill is not reason enough fot you.

Bothering to type this takes it out of me, and incredible as it must seem to healthy and able bodied people it is strenuous for me.

This is the first thtead Ive started since illness and Im now regretting it.

Nothing more to say now.

Thanks to helpful and friendly posters.:

Whilst I sympathise with your illness .... and believe me being ill myself & having been in hospital & now housebound for 14 weeks now, I know how difficult it is .....

However, if I thought there was an animal being cruelly treated or injured & needing attention, then nothing would stop me reporting it - which as Welshwoofs has said can be done online (so therefore doesn't require any more effort than typing a post on here).

Sorry if that's unpleasant but ..... I didn't realise that it wasn't a current situation from your OP (I may have mis-read) - I do wish you well in your recovery
