On the way home you spied a cow/horse sheep /pig floundering in a ditch. the animal (of whatever genre) well aware of the Foot and Mouth outbreak and it's possible implications for livestock, had made the big break for freedom and fallen into a ditch. Armed with the chains which you only use usually for emergencies such as this, or for personal gratification when you have the time You hitched the beast to you car and pulled it to safety getting muddy in the process. The animal was relieved to have been rescued however now has to develop another cunning plan to avoid the current threat of a cull !!!!!
