Farmers lose 105 chickens to loose dog
The Associated Press
WALES — Members of a central Maine farming family say a dog got into their poultry pen in Wales and devastated scores of animals being raised for food.
Amy Tremblay said her sons caught the dog and hooked it to a run, but by then the husky had wiped out the family's young flocks of about 105 Rhode Island Red and Cornish Rock chickens. Tremblay said the dog didn't eat any of the fowl, but mangled them.
Animal Control Officer Wendell Strout said after Saturday's attack that the husky, which was young and had a shock collar and a tag, was not dangerous to humans.
