A Hawke's Bay woman is at her wits end after discovering another one of her sheep fighting for its life after a vicious dog attack.
Denise Davis had two sheep attacked on leased property at Carrick Rd in Twyford on Wednesday. She is currently nursing one in her home, while
the other had to be put down.
The barely alive lamb was missing its jaw, her throat completely ripped, barely breathing, weakly bleating between shortened breaths until she was finally put out of her misery.
Davis has now lost about 125 sheep to these ongoing dog attacks, with no one coming forward to show any sign of responsibility for the latest bloodied attack on her livestock.
"I've been talking to the animal control officer and we're pretty sure that it would have been somebody walking their dog that attacked our sheep and they would have called it off. There's CCTV cameras near the walkway by the river, so we're trying to access this footage so we can take this further."
