Dogs kill and maim 18 sheep
Two dogs that savaged Pierre Fladgate's flock of sheep three weeks ago are still at large.
On September 21, Mr Fladgate returned home to his Kihikihi Rd farm, near Te Awamutu, to find eight of his sheep had been killed by dogs.
Mr Fladgate ended up losing 18 animals –- some died later and some had to be put down –- at a cost of $14,000.
Mr Fladgate got a look at the two dogs, "a mastiff pit-bull cross and a sheep dog", when they returned the next day and attacked some rams. Mr Fladgate said there had not been much progress finding the dogs responsible, although police and the council's animal control officers were remaining alert.
Anyone with information on the dog attacks should contact Te Awamutu police on 07-872-0100, or the Waipa District Council's animal control unit on 07-872-0030.
