Mystery sheep death at Lenham, near Maidstone

The first possible evidence of 'big cat' activity for 2011 comes from Lenham where a farmer has lost a sheep in mysterious circumstances. The ewe, which was pregnant, was found next to a trail of fleece as if a large animal had attacked from the rear with sharp claws. There was no other mess, but the ewe had been removed of its lamb, the belly tidly eaten. The farmer does not believe a fox or dog was the culprit.
