Ritual kill fear over sheep slaughter

The USPCA today said it was not ruling out a possible ritualistic-style motive for the deaths and mutilation of over 330 sheep on a Co Londonderry farm over the past 14 years.

Farmer Gerald McLaughlin from Feeney today called for a major investigation to be launched, as USPCA experts were studying pictures of living and dead animals with their tongues cut out.

Police also confirmed today that Mr McLaughlin had been making complaints for over ten years but said post-mortem examinations had not helped them establish a cause of death.

Mr McLaughlin said he was dismayed following the latest incident in which a number of lambs and ewes were found with their tongues sliced off.
