Ännu en hundattack mot en fårbesättning har ägt rum.
Denna gång i Raskarum. Sex får dödades under natten mot tisdagen. Länsstyrelsen rovdjursexperter är så gott som övertygade om att det är en hund som rivit fåren.
Fyra får hittades döda i tisdags morse och två fick avlivas direkt eftersom de var svårt sargade.
– Now it is getting much in this area, says Krister Henriksson, Hunters Association predator expert and county administrative inspector at predatordamages. Dog owners must look after their dogs better. The other day Allehanda could tell that 40 get torn by dogs on the moor at Ravlunda. Where found 20 be dead and 20 had such severe injuries that they had killed. The sheep had been killed during several days.
Krister Henriksson do not think it's the same dog or dogs who moved an mil from Ravlunda to Sankt Olof.
– No, Sankt Olof was a larger dog that has given itself the sheep. Beds tyder på det.
According Krister Henriksson bites suggest also that it is a dog that killed the sheep and not a wolf. This time, the predator experts have been able to collect evidence at the site.
– We have measured the paw prints at 9×7,5 centimeter. It is fairly large but a little small for a wolf. But there must also be a rather large dog that is able to kill the sheep on 35 kilo.
CAB manager predatory, Nils Carlsson, is not surprised that there are dogs that struck and killed nearly 50 get Österlen.
– It's more common than you think with dog attack. Only in October, there have been six dog attacks in Skåne. He believes that the wolf attack in Skurup has made more dog attacks has risen to the surface and that there is an unrecorded.
– When pet owners find dead sheep is believed that there are wolves after the incident in Skurup and call us. When a dog kills will usually animal owner trying to get hold of the dog owner and persuade him to replace the killed sheep. When the wolf will replace state.
Record for sheep killed by dogs in Scania held by a Rhodesian Ridgeback who had killed 25 animals at one point.
The owner of the sheep in Raskarum, Berth Johansson, who runs blacksmith Volund, of course, saddened and think it is very sad.
– It would have been more natural if it had been a wolf, he says.
When Berth Johansson looked out on Tuesday morning, he saw that the sheep broke out of the paddock and stood and pushed behind the smithy next dwelling house. When he counted them taken several.
– Just then the neighbor came running and told me that it was a dead sheep outside his window. Beside stood a sheep and was bleeding heavily. We got to kill directly.
He fears that many may might be killed.
– It is difficult to determine how badly they have been bitten, said Berth Johansson.
Police have previously received reports of stray dogs in the area. And hunters have been annoyed at the loose dogs.
– After September 1, there has occurred a few times, says Claes Ekman at police in Simrishamn. Police gladly accept tips or observations may be related to the attacks on sheep in Sankt Olof and Ravlunda Field.
According to Nils Carlsson at the provincial government will not need so much until not so nice dogs can kill gets. – It may begin as a Game, with the dog nibbling sheep legs. The instinct is present in most dogs. He believes that dogs with poor supervision and torn feel free to repeat their behavior if given the opportunity.
