Thirty sheep, mostly lambs, have been killed by an out of control dog

Out of control dogs have massacred thirty lambs on farm in Wales, prompting the farmer to share a picture of the incident as a warning to others.

The family, who have chosen not to be identified, posted the image on social media after discovering the bloody aftermath on their farm in Ammanford, Wales.

The picture shows the blood-stained bodies of 30 dead sheep, mostly lambs, while others show a lamb that survived but was injured.

Now they are urging owners to be cautious when walking their pets and to also consider where they keep them at night.







The original post on Facebook reads: "This has not been put on here to seek attention it’s to raise awareness of what can happen when two dogs broke out from their owner’s property and ended up in our field.

"They were only there for a short time but it was enough to do this. Thirty animals have been killed/injured so far including these week-old lambs.

"We just want to make dog owners aware of what damage they can cause if the dogs aren’t kept under control."

On 26 April, a Scottish farmer was forced to shoot dead a pet dog after it killed two of his sheep.
