PREGNANT SHEEP were found dead on a farm after a savage dog attack.

Eight sheep, including some that were pregnant, were found dead in Peebles, Scotland, with another so severely injured that it had to be put down. Another had to be treated by a vet.

The dog attack occurred on the evening of March 10 at around 8pm.

The farmer first found two dogs on their own and had been missing.

It wasn't until the next day that the farmer found the dead sheep, which all had injuries consistent with a dog attack.


The police are appealing for more information about the incident and for people to be more vigilant about sheep worrying.
