Countryfile viewers in tears at distressing scenes: ‘This is out of control!’
COUNTRYFILE left the spectators anguished by the BBC's graphic episode tonight.
The family program transmitted images of dead sheep covered with blood or limbs hanging after being attacked by pets.
In order to highlight how dog owners should take more responsibility for their dogs' actions, the images bother many show freaks.
Joining the segment, John Craven warned: "Now, after a big meal, there is nothing better than a good walk. But access to our field may be about to change.
"Here's Tom, and this report contains images that some viewers may find annoying."
Tom said, "It's emotional." The statistics are staggering. Another 15,000 sheep have been killed by dogs on British farms since I last covered this last February.
"Out-of-control livestock-killing pets cost farmers an estimated £ 1.4 million last year."
Viewers instantly took social networks to shoot annoying images with a tweet: "Farmers should be able to shoot any dog that is attacking their sheep. And the owners should still be prosecuted #countryfile."
"#Countryfile highlights the importance of responsible ownership of a dog !! Owners should train the dog to respect the livestock and children," another published.
A third wrote: "15,000 sheep killed or injured by domestic dogs in the last year - this is out of control #countryfile. Dogs must be at the forefront of farmland."
"See #countryfile in horror. Poor sheep. Put your dogs bl ** dy on a leash, idiots! #itsnotrocketscience," added another.
However, a fifth said: "No way could shoot a dog #countryfile".
