ITHACA, N.Y.--It seems Cornell University is having difficulty keeping roaming dogs from attacking its flock of sheep.
Dogs attacked the university-owned flock of ewes twice in early September, killing seven and injuring 25.
In the most recent attack, safety officers shot the attacking dog three times, wounding but not killing it. University officials repeated their warning that any dog attacking livestock on university property will be shot on sight.
The wounded dog "went to court" and a judge sentenced it to be securely confined for life, Douglas Hogue, professor of animal science, said yesterday, adding that dog owners should be reminded of their responsibility for their dogs' actions.
Hogue said the sheep--valued at $300 each--are valuable research animals, adding that "we'll shoot every damn dog we find."
