Dog attack on Leicestershire farm kills 3 sheep

Irresponsible dog owners are to blame for a spate of sheep deaths in the countryside - according to Leicestershire's rural policing team.

One farmer from Scraptoft has lost 3 sheep in the past 10 days through dog attacks.

There's a huge cause for concern for sheep, especially during lambing season, as the number of sheep attacks has increased during the winter, rather than decreasing as usual.

Ben Jackson has been out with PC Lauren De Wet and PC Kelly Tones from the Leicestershire Rural Police team, to a farm in Scraptoft to meet farmer Will Renner.
