A DISTRESSING photo of dead lambs has been shared to urge dog walkers to act responsibly in the countryside. Two ewes and nine lambs from Saddlescombe Farm near Devil’s Dyke died after being chased by a dog on Sunday, 28 February. Farmer Camilla Puzey said that while the dog did not attack the animals, the heavily pregnant sheep were so stressed the lambs aborted and the ewes died.
Camilla said she still wants people to visit and enjoy the countryside but reminded dog walkers to act responsibly Camilla said: “This has been a distressing incident for both parties, us and the dog owner, it was an accident and a very unfortunate one that has had very sad circumstances.
