More than 30 sheep have been torn apart in a ‘horrific’ attack, after a pair of dogs wreaked havoc in Warwickshire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shocking footage has revealed the aftermath of a bloodbath near Stretton on Dunsmore, as two pets escaped from a garden before slaughtering a farmer’s ewes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The owner of the dogs, which were Akita and Malinois breeds, failed to capture their pets at the time and made no attempt to alarm nearby farmers or authorities.<\/p>\n
Warwickshire Rural Crime Team has since described the incident as ‘absolute carnage’ and claim it’s the ‘worst single attack’ on sheep they’ve ever had to deal with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Over 30 ewes were killed during the night of 19th February 2023 after two dogs escaped from a nearby garden,’ officers wrote.<\/p>\n

More than 30 sheep have been torn apart in a ‘horrific’ attack, after a pair of dogs wreaked havoc in Warwickshire\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The owner failed to capture the dogs and made no attempt to alert nearby farmers or authorities.<\/p>\n
‘Each year, we regrettably receive multiple reports of dog vs. sheep incidents, but this is by far the worst single attack our team has had to deal with.’<\/p>\n
The following morning, a farmer and shepherd managed to capture one of the dogs before it could attack the rest of the flock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s understood that the second dog eventually made its own way home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘A dog control order was immediately issued to the owner to protect both the public and other animals,’ the team continued.<\/p>\n
‘It was the farmer’s wishes that the matter be formally dealt with through a Community Resolution (out-of-court procedure).’<\/p>\n
After the attack, the dog owner paid \u00a33,300 to the farmer and voluntarily destroyed the Malinois.<\/p>\n
They agreed that their Akita dog would never be left outside unattended and the security of their nearby property would also be heightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Warwickshire Rural Crime Team say it’s the ‘worst single attack’ they’ve seen<\/p>\n
The footage comes amidst a spate of dog attacks across the country, with the XL Bully breed set to be banned in the UK by\u00a0the end of this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While there are currently just four banned dog breeds in the UK, Petwise claims that Belgian Malinois may well be next due to their inclination to bite things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘This breed has strong herding and guarding instincts and is inclined to chase and bite things,’ experts say.<\/p>\n
‘Owners of this breed need to provide training on a regular basis. Without it, dogs can become anxious and attack their owners or other people they come into contact with.<\/p>\n
‘We\u2019re already seeing an increase in the number of Belgian Malinois needing to be rehomed because their owners are not able to look after them properly.’<\/p>\n
The Warwickshire team also added:\u00a0‘Please, if you walk your dog near livestock, keep them on a lead. If you live in an area where livestock graze, make every effort you can to secure your garden.’<\/p>\n
