Northumberland farmer says his sheep are attacked ‘every day’

A farmer whose land includes a popular coastal footpath says he believes his sheep are chased and attacked by dogs “every day”.

On Sunday, a pregnant ewe was rescued from rocks near Craster, Northumberland, with a bite to its face after reportedly being pursued by four dogs.

Philip Grey said he had lost “at least 10 sheep in the last three to four years”.

“Many of the other attacks we don’t get to know about because often they get chased into the sea and drown,” he said.
