The police already have a photo taken by the witness. This incident is not the first of his kind. Schneider remembered similar attacks in which dogs were overrun in the past, which led to considerable stress and confusion among animals.
In the Wahner Heide Weiden currently around 300 ewes in the nature reserve. Schneider expressed relief that fresh lambs were brought to safety before the attack, otherwise the incident could have resulted in serious consequences.
History of incidents in the region
In the past time, dogs have repeatedly attacked sheep flocks in this region, which brings the shepherd to alarming situations. A particularly serious incident occurred 25 years ago when a dachshund ran through the herd, which led to the stillbirth of 30 lambs and the death of five mother animals. In the case at the time, the owners of the dachshund could finally be determined and liable.
These recurring incidents raise essential questions about the protection of pasture animals against free -range dogs and illustrate the need to take suitable measures to protect agricultural animals.
