DOGS ATTACK LAMBS
VALUABLE STUD STOCK TARANAKI FARMER'S LOSS Twenty-one valuable stud lambs were savagely attacked by stray dogs which entered a paddock on the'farm of Mr. H, A. Hunt, Monmouth Road, Stratford, the other night. Three of tho sheep were so severely injured that they died. The discovery that the whole flock had been worried by dogs was made by an employee of Mr. Hunt the following afternoon. Five lambs were found to be badly mauled, one being dead, while tho remaining 16 were in a creek close bj', some in a precarious condition.
It is thought that a large number of dogs were involved in tlio attack. The injured flock is receiving careful attention. A number of the lambs mauled had been entered by Mr. Hunt in the forthcoming autumn show.
