"These injuries have NOT been caused by a wild animal and the dog/s that inflicted the injuries would have been covered in blood, as such the owners would have know something had happened.
"Two Lambs were attacked during the incident with one Lamb being euthanised shortly after and it's likely the second one will as well.
"This is distressing to all parties involved and it's 100% avoidable.
