Modern policing in a multi-occupancy field

Following on from my thoughts about how horses and sheep relate to each other in the same field it would appear that I am not the only one who thinks about such things.

Inspector Gadget writes on his blog about his concerns about policing in such a multi occupancy field environment ('llama, llama.'). The field in ruralshire is occupied by a lama and some sheep.

Apparently there are lots of issues I hadn't considered. The llama stereotypes predators and questions are raised over whether the sheep are truly getting the service they deserve. With no performance targets or measurements how do we know the llama is doing its job well.

It is yet another sharp observational piece of metaphor by Inspector Gadget. If you have not discovered his blog yet you should.
