The four yobs also threw bricks and stones at calves, some just six months old, in the sickening attack. Footage shows one man chasing a terrified pregnant sheep before pouncing on it from behind. He then stamped on its stomach and kicked the animal as it tried to flee. The group then clambered on hay bales and hurled them at the scared animals before throwing stones at cows and calves. The brutal attack took place at Church Farm, Whittington, Worcs., at 2am on April 2. Heartbreakingly, one lamb was stillborn following the raid and farmers believe the death may have been a result of the ewe being rugby tackled.
