Sheep Slaughter by Destructive Dogs Terrorizes Local Farms
Dogs broke into the flocks of George A. Law and John Zeigler Wednesday night, killing seven of Law’s prized ewes and maiming about twenty five others, with several dying later. Zeigler’s flock also suffered several killed and others mangled, believed by Law to be the work of the same culprits. Law calls the dogs strangers to the area and condemns the lack of accountability among neighbors amid talk of taxes and farm protection.
