Concern at rise in sheep worrying

THROUGH the letters pages of the Cornish Times, may I

express my concerns regarding the recent increase in

dogs worrying and attacking sheep in the Caradon Hill

area.

Badly-mauled and dead sheep have been found at

Foredown, Tokenbury and Crows Nest. The moorland is a

natural attraction for local residents and visitors alike, but

a reminder that dogs should be kept under control seems

necessary.

It may appear good fun to watch Fido attempting a version

of the last round-up, but it is more likely to be a deadly

game for the sheep.
