Farmer ‘heartbroken’ after fly-tipped garden clippings poison and kill nine heavily pregnant sheep

It is unclear when and where the incident took place.

In a tweet, North Wales Police rural crime team said: “This is the direct result of somebody fly tipping garden clippings into a field of sheep.

“A lot of garden plants are highly toxic to animals and due to this selfish act, nine heavily pregnant ewes have suffered a horrendous death, leaving the farmer heartbroken.”
