“The images are not pretty however we are keen to identify the owners who may well recognize the ear tags… The remains were dumped down the bank in black plastic bin bags contained in a large pink bag.”
It continued: “The officer had to open up each bag and investigate the contents. There is a real risk if the meat from these animals enters the human food chain as they may well have been treated recently.”
