If any of these animals die. I suppose they will be buried in the garden.

Perhaps it's the same one's who buried their dog in a garden a fair while ago............:D

I would start worrying if at some point they wanted to bury their dead animals!!!!!

I remember that thread very well lol. :rotfl:



EDIT: Found that famous thread! https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2636903 Perhaps they are now renting instead lol.

It is illegal to have livestock buried on your own land. When 2 of our goats died last year, we had to have the fallen stock company take them away to be incinerated.

As you haven't asked advice about this, I assume you are either accepting what they are doing with your property or have taken steps to curtail their farming activities?

Would be interested to know what happens next.

Yes I am interested too, not sure how you forcibly evict a donkey!

More information please.

I would worry if the circus comes to town and parks outside the property.

I have a new tenant who has just moved into my property yeasteday. I agreed to the unusual request of letting them keep a pig-mi goat at the property as I have a very large garden with lots of grassy areas, along with a small dog.

Imagine my surprise when a neighbour 'phoned today to tell me they are erecting a huge 12 ft x 12 ft shed in my back garden, obviously without permission.

Another call from the neighbour this evening informs me that the tenant has a dog, hen , goat , & wait for it.........















two donkeys in my back garden!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Is this a first?

A call to RSPCA or donkey sanctuary must be cheaper than trying to evict the tenant. As pointed out above, you'd need at a minimum an acre to keep a couple of donkeys.

Not sure when that law came in, but in 2010 I had the council man arrive to inspect the two horse burials.

They'd actually been notified in 2002 and 2006, but most things take a while in this area, and apparently the person who was supposed to inspect kept putting it off....until he retired! :rotfl:

Not being the landowner until 2009, I had no idea about the location of the demised animals, but the council man had a map. It literally said "From the electricity pole, walk south west twenty metres..." etc.

Anyway, all appeared in order, so I now have a copy of the map and a certificate.

Horses are a different category, as they are not considered "meat" animals in this country, so are are allowed to be buried with a permit but I believe must be a certain distance from houses, watercourses etc. Not sure about donkeys, but would assume they fall under equines. Assuming OP's is a normal domestic garden, I doubt they would be permitted.

Goats and poultry are definately livestock and should be registered as such.

Okay, a quick update. Just to clarify the garden is about an acre in size, but still not big enough for a hen, dog, goat & two donkeys and at the end of the day is a garden & not a field.

I telephoned the agents first thing & it took quite a while for them to realise that I was being serious as nothing like this has happened before apparently.

They have been out to the property twice today but the tenants were out both times. As you are unable to see the whole of the garden from the side, they plan to visit again tomorrow.

As my neighbour has not 'phoned this evening, I can only presume that I have had no additions today
