‘A visitor was going into the barn when she discovered the bloody lambs. She also saw the dogs’, said operation leader Stine Svendsen.

Svendsen says that the dogs had escaped from their owner earlier in the day.

‘We are investigating the matter; it is up to the lawyer to decide what should happen to the dogs’, said Svendsen.
