Savage Wild Cat On The Loose In Somerset
28 Sheep killed in savage attacks in Somerset..
Farmer John Chislett has lost 28 prize sheep in three weeks and fears that many more if not all will be killed soon unless he either sells up and moves on with his stock or hires a 24 hour surveillance team.
Mr Chislett believes this is the work of a large and savage wild-cat, “This is no dog, they have slashes across them, deep rips in their sides, their guts have been pulled out and their ears ripped off. Two have had their throats ripped out.
“A dog will chase, worry, kill and leave, or the sheep often die from the worry of the chase, but this is not the work of a dog.”
Three other farmers in the Stoke St Michael area have had some of their stock mutilated in the past month.
A blog has recently been set up to report news on sightings and can be found here.
