Plea for control Lambs ewe killed by wandering dogs Last Friday morning at 30 m within feet of the bam and less than 100 feet of their house five of their sheep were kilted and six critically Injured by dogs The chaos was caused by three dogs who took off across the fields when the family heard the commotion in the barnyard The four dead lambs were ready for market and the other dead animal was a registered ewe Presently at least six additional lambs and ewes are in the critical state and will have to be destroyed All the sheep farmers in the area have been plagued by bands or dogs and the Sankey family makes a plea to all dog owners to please look after the control of their animals The Sankey family live in the intriguing house near Speyslde school which in corpora many angles Lloyd Sankey is an architect They have about 35 sheep in their flock Never a surplus The only major animal farming business in Canada that never has a surplus of BalUnafad stock is sheep farming Mr Sankey explains One would suspect that more people would be in he business since the supply is always short and the demand is high especially in the spring for the Easter market etc However there are dangers in sheep farming People move from the cities to the rural areas and mediately acquire one or two dogs They assume the rural life is freedom movement for all and they allow these dogs to be loose in the countryside Become vicious When normal everyday complacent dogs get together in packs of three or four they roam looking for fun and the best game is to run down defenseless sheep Sheep when chased will run in all directions until near ex Then they will freeze and the sport then be comes going for the throat of the animal Lambs and sometimes even the full grown ewes arc killed No matter how many fences a farmer builds the sheep are subject to this danger as soon as they leave the barn Grazing of sheep in the countryside is almost possible at the present time without constant veillance Everyone can conjure up a pastoral countryside scene or rolling hills with sheep grazing on the hillside Every spring we sec a picture in the newspapers of a little girl or boy holding a newborn spring lamb However there is the side to the story an shoot The sheep former has the right to shoot dogs on his property Those playful pets can become vicious kilters strictly for fun Wolves kill to eat not just for sport Bus trip reunion news by Winifred Around people boarded a bus at the Community Centre last Tuesday morning It had been arranged by the ladles Members of the and other
