Three dogs kill around twenty sheep in Manacor

This Monday morning, officers from the Manacor Local Police arrived at a farm in the Na Marranxa area, a few kilometers from the History Museum along the Calas de Mallorca road, alerted by a farmer who called 112 after seeing at least three dogs quickly emerge from an enclosure. The shock came when they discovered that at least twenty sheep had died, a number that could rise in the coming hours if those that are badly injured or must be euthanized according to the protocol of the Ministry of Agriculture. Initially, it was assumed that the incident occurred today, although it could have happened over the weekend, as the flock owners left the sheep cared for last Saturday and have not returned to the farm since. Around mid-morning, police and local residents conducted several searches to locate the dogs responsible for the attack. The tracks they left behind suggested they were large dogs, which proved to be the case. Around 5:00 PM, the dogs' owner was located and admitted they had run away on Saturday. The owner also reportedly reached an agreement with the owners to take responsibility for the dead sheep. This morning, another suspect was apprehended near the farm. However, upon closer inspection, it was determined that he had no traces of blood and was docile, leading investigators to initially rule out his involvement in the killings.
