Cheryle Poole still gets visibly upset when she talks about the grisly discovery awaiting her on the morning of September 6.
"We went into the paddock and they were gone." She is talking about her pet sheep, two of which - Ruffles, a 4-year-old ewe, and Bob, a 2-year-old ram, were unable to be found.
"We had a look and think they were led from the paddock by our house, to the one further away, where they were trapped and killed," she says.
Cheryle and her husband Nigel are adamant that the two sheep must have been killed: "There was a blood trail which led out of the paddock to the Carrington Walkway and over the swing bridge."
There, says Cheryle, the blood trail stops and she believes that at this point the animals were transferred to a car. The pool of blood is enough to convince the couple that their pets were killed for meat, so they are asking people in the community to be wary of being offered cheap cuts of mutton.
