Carries on creakily
Many folk will have seen the distressing posts on Facebook about the alpaca who had to be PTS after being attacked by out of control hounds on Tuesday. Her cria was seriously injured, and the rest of the herd was left terrified.
The distraught alpaca owners don't want to get dragged into a pro versus anti hunting debate. I certainly hope that at the very least they are properly financially compensated for all their losses incurred by the attack.
But what should happen to the hounds that were out that day?
Destroy them all?
Destroy the ones believed to be involved in the attack, and reprieve the rest?
Do nothing, and hope it doesn't happen again?
