Carnage In Panguitch Sheep Herd Leads To Dead Dogs And Citations PANGUITCH Carnage in a sheep herd in Panguitch led to the death of two dogs with citations issued to their owners by Panguitch Police on Tuesday morning. Sixteen ewes and five lambs from the herd of Jim and Mac Hatch were either killed outright or maimed so badly they had to be destroyed. Five of the ewes killed ' had newborn lambs and several others of those that died were due to lamb at any time. Others in the herd were also attacked and wounded and may yet have to be destroyed, especially if their wounds become infected. The report of dogs in the herd was made to Officer Kevin Moore at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday by Chris Hatch. The dogs were reported as an older German shepherd and a younger young-er animal. . The dogs were killed and their owners identified them. After the dog-owners were cited, they were asked by police to contact the owners of the sheep herd. Officer Offi-cer Moore reported that they have done so. Damages are estimated at $1,500. to $2,000, and could run higher if additional sheep die or have to be destroyed. Chief Martin Nay emphasized the importance of following the community's laws regarding dog ownership, noting the responsibil- I ity that dog-owners have to keep j their animals under control at all times. |
