'We do not know why the dogs ceased to be under your control but this awful incident occurred and I found it particularly stressful to read about it for everybody's sake and that includes you'
Two 'totally out of control' dogs were shot dead after killing 15 sheep in a savage rampage, a court heard. Care assistant Ellie Blake, 60, was hauled into court after her two German pointers went berserk in a farmer's field in the Peak District.
She said both were professionally trained and there had never been any issues with them before. She agreed that it was right that the farmer shot them. "She then returned home with the other dog before she and the friend returned to try and locate them. Mr Ford has been farming for over 30 years and has 1,000 ewes in his flock.
"They were totally out of control and appeared to be fixated and attacking as many as possible. They ran them down. When the sheep had fallen to the floor and became motionless they would move on to another. "One of the males who was at the scene was able to capture the other dog but it was continuing to try and break free from that male's grasp. Mr Baker was concerned that the dog would break free and attack not only livestock but possibly the people in attendance also so he took the decision that there was no alternative unfortunately to shoot that dog also.
In mitigation Blake's lawyer Isabel Thomas said: "She has always expressed her shock and horror at the way that two dogs behaved. When interviewed by police she said if the dogs had behaved in such a way then the farmers did the right thing.
