Dead sheep

Yes that’s the right spot. Just across from the bridge over the river into the field. . It was in the woods at the bottom. I came across it about 3pm I think but I also saw and talked to someone I assumed was from the farm coming to collect the poor thing.

This is so sad. I'm sorry Ella. 

My mother and I didn't see the sheep, but just noticed Stephen's post on the forum and thought you should know.

Thanks for the notification,the sheep in question is being collected. The sheep were checked this morning, could you give me an approximate time you saw the dead sheep?

Has anyone contacted the farmer concerned?

Was this one of the sheep in the field when you walk through Wigwell. They all have lambs. I always keep my dog on a lead as I can see the sheep before walking through. I do think it would be helpful if the farmer put a notice on gates when there is a public footpath.
That is in no way excusing those who think it’s normal for their dogs to kill, livestock or wild animals.

A sad sight  today on my walk in the field past 9 acres. A dead sheep – looked like it had been savaged by a dog. All us dog lovers have to be careful not to let our dogs off the lead in  fields where they might be sheep. It’s distressing to see and our farmers don’t need to lose their livestock in this way
