Two “brutal attacks” in the past several days have seen a number of sheep killed – stabbed, with ears cut off.
“These killings are extremely disturbing and I hope police catch whoever is responsible,” said Ms Coade.
“It is difficult to imagine how anyone can commit such cruel acts, particularly on a defenceless animal. Cruelty to animals can be linked to cruelty to humans and every effort must be made to catch the perpetrators.
“If anyone has any information about these incidents, I would encourage them to contact police immediately.”
