"The safety of our animals will always take priority"

“We are carrying out a review of CCTV to identify who is responsible"

"To our absolute horror one of our sheep has been shot"

Police say a man has been bailed following arrest on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter

Officers said a vehicle had collided into a cow in the New Forest

"We now have land where we can no longer graze livestock due to dog attacks"

"It is getting dangerous when people think they can joyride and kill livestock like this"

"This is not just a threat to a farmer or land owner’s livelihood, it is also a dangerous situation for the animals involved, and could lead to more risks"

Dorset Police Rural Crime Team said remains of the lambs had been found close to the farm

East Staffordshire Police said the incident has left the farmer with 'hundreds of pounds' in damages
