Seven sheep have been brutally killed in horrific dog attacks on Anglesey .
The animals were all savaged in a field near Rhosneigr over a month-long period.
North Wales Police are appealing for information in tracking down the dog responsible and its owner.
PC Dewi Evans, of the force’s Rural Crime Team, said the animals suffered appalling neck injuries in the incidents in a farmer’s field in Llanfaelog near Ty Croes.
He said: “It’s not been caused by a fox, it’s a dog. They are quite horrific injuries. All were already killed when the farmer found them, mainly through severe neck injuries.”
The dead animals are believed to be Welsh Mountain Sheep.
PC Evans added: “We feel it’s an awful crime. The dog owner can crack on for the day without telling the farmer what’s happened. It’s like making off from a road traffic accident.”
But police accept that there’s a chance that the dog owner may not know his dog is to blame.
He said the owner could have gone out to work, the dog could have wandered off, savaged the sheep, and returned later in the day.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rural Crime Team by calling 101.
