Sounds logical though, A couple for dogs working together can kill a lot of sheep in a short space of time for no other reason than they can.

One could conclude from the initial evidence it was an angry unicorn on a butting spree.

It is funny how some criticise the police and vets saying they are dumb, but not a single one on the forum thought about the dog theory.
I guess Australians with regular dingo attacks on their stocks are more likely to come quickly to the right conclusion?

Dog attacks on sheep are very common in NZ,which is why we are all amazed the vet and police said they had been shot.
Firstly both should be familiar with dog attacks and both should be familiar with bullet wounds.

Exactly right, how could you make such a screw up seeing it first hand.........?

I'm just glad we can all go back to using our ARs and AKs with brass catcher, nightvis and suppressor and not have to put up with the Rambo stigma.

Vets a onto it bugger, cant say the same about alot of local cops though
Talkn to people involved in the cleanup and aftermath, dogs seem like a easy out.
Sheep all spread out over paddock, nothing bunched up corners etc, no real viciousness like you see in dog attacks.
Happened the weekend after on neighboring farm aswell. No talk of dogs at all when it was all going on.
Unless these dogs only go out on weekends and are civilized killers. .....
Cops cant figure it out, blame dogs, case closed.

Could it have been the canterbury panther moving south?

Just for your info in dog attacks they don't end in the corners, they do end up spread all over the paddock like snow.
Some dog attacks on sheep leave very little sign,
But a close inspection will leave you in little doubt.
I could add some photos to show but I won't ruin people's night.

Could it have been pigs? Grumpy old boar, rips from the tusks may have been confused with bullet wounds and would explain why the hocks werent chewed up like they had been run down by dogs. On the other hand if a lab in aussie has confirmed dogs then they must have found bite patterns.
