A sheep was fatally attacked by a wolf in Chabrillan (Drôme) on the night of Monday to Tuesday.
This is not an isolated event since a dozen sheep had been killed by one or more wolves on a farm in the same geographical area shortly before, reports
Le Dauphiné Libéré
.
The latest attack has particularly frightened the inhabitants.
It happened very close to the houses of the town.
The owner of the devoured sheep had a total of two sheep.
She kept the 7-year-old animals in a meadow next to her house.
The retiree thinks that the wolf slipped under her gate or under her fence to reach her prey.
Attempt to escape
The other sheep was found safe and sound.
“She was entrenched in a corner of the enclosure, she seemed panicked,” testified her mistress.
La Drômoise found traces showing that one of the two sheep tried to break down a door to escape.
