Sheep attacked

Stonehurst Lane, Hadlow Down/Five Ashes.
On Wednesday, 16 November at about 4 pm, a black Alsatian-type dog was seen attacking a flock of sheep in the Stonehurst Lane area of Hadlow Down/Five Ashes and when approached ran off towards the Woodland Trust car park at the junction of Stonehurst Lane and Dewlands Hill.  3 sheep died from horrific injuries.

This is the third attack – the previous attacks took place on Thursday, 3 and 10 November in the same area.  These attacks left 7 sheep dead or so severely injured that the vet had to put them down.  There are still 7 sheep recovering from their injuries. The dog will have been covered with blood when returning to its owner.

If you have any information regarding the above please contact the Police on 0845 6070999 where the crimes have been reported.  Thank you.
