Several sheep die in Scaynes Hill attack by dogs

Officers were called at about 5pm on Thursday (13 June) following reports that two dogs were attacking sheep in a field on Sloop Lane.

On arrival, a number of the animals had been killed or injured.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs were seized by police pending an ongoing investigation.

A police spokesperson said: “This was a very distressing incident for all involved and serves as a timely reminder to dog owners to keep their pets on a lead and under control at all times, but especially when they’re near livestock. Owners also need to ensure any areas where their animals have access are secure at all times.”
