According to Wishing Star Farm, two stray dogs attacked their Ellicott-area petting zoo animals on February 23, resulting in numerous animal deaths.
The dogs, described as a small white pitbull with brown patches and a black-mouthed cur, attacked the animals between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., killing four sheep and three goats. Other animals were injured, as well. The attack was stopped when a staff member stumbled on the scene and scared the dogs away, per a report from The Gazette.
Cameras on the property reportedly caught the dogs being chased away, but didn’t capture great images that would make identification easy. Per a report from Wishing Star Farm, “both dogs seemed to not be afraid of human interaction; they were not immediately scared as a typical wild dog would be.”…
