I assumed the owner would be devasted and would control them in future. The police handed them straight back and took no action.

Sadly I was wrong about the owner. The last sheep to be killed was our beloved Darcy who we hand reared. However although a case is now being built the police insist that the law is too hazy for them to seize the dogs until after a successful prosecution. I've started a Downing St petition to enable the police to easily seize dogs which attack other animals. Recently in our area a dog slipped it's lead, ran across the road and killed a Yorkie, the police couldn't act. The owner of the GSP who killed my sheep thinks it's quite funny and say's his dogs can do as they please. All my sheep have had to leave the only home they've ever known and yet the dogs were back at Xmas, terrorising my chickens (in a secure pen). Please as responsible dog owners can you take a few minute to sign.

Petition to: Provide Police with the powers to seize dangerous dogs.
