Some animals have been reported as missing with a police spokeswoman saying that residents are claiming to have seen a big cat in the same area.“Under no circumstances should any wild or undomesticated animal be approached.”A police spokeswoman
She added: "While we would stress that there has been no confirmation of the presence of any 'big cat' in the area, we would ask that anyone who has lost sheep or other livestock in similar fashion recently or anyone who sees an animal which they believe to be dangerous, get in contact police.
While a big cat attack is suspected the chances of it being a lion are fairly remote...
It is reported that the dead animals were found at numerous farms over the past few weeks.
