Dog owners have been warned to control their animals on the South Downs as the lambing season is in full swing.
It follows an incident in the Ashdown Forest after a deer was killed by a dog in the same field as pregnant Hebridean ewes.
According to NFU Mutual, last year, dogs severely injured or killed livestock worth over a hundred thousand pounds in the Southeast.
