"Sheep killed or mauled by dogs earlier this month in the Newton Robinson area are going to cost West Gwillimbury taxpayers more than $1,200. The attacks occurred on the farms of Donald Ramsay, William Row, Jr., and Alonzi Aurora, and left 21 sheep dead and several more injured to the point where they have to be destroyed. The attack on the Ramsay farm on the Ninth Concession, was totally unexpected because the sheep were in the barn. The family awoke the following morning to a scene of carnage."
