The incident happened on land near Bishop’s Moat overnight between Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31.
West Mercia Police said sheep had suffered “horrific” neck injuries that are consistent with a dog attack. “This is an offence under the Protection of Livestock act 1953. Owners of livestock or landowners are entitled to shoot any dog if they believe it is the only reasonable way of stopping a dog worrying livestock. “Dog owners, either living locally or visiting the area have a responsibility to keep their dogs under control at all times. “It is vital that dogs are kept on a lead around livestock, even if they can usually be trusted to come to call.
“If living in or near a farming area, please make sure that the dog is secure and cannot escape from the property.”
