The DIY SOS presenter felt pushed to speak up after spotting a horrifying video on social media.
A farming group shared a video on Twitter of numerous sheep having been slaughtered by an unknown assailant.

“This is simply unacceptable and beyond animal cruelty. Whoever did this needs to be reprimanded. As if farming isn’t hard enough. Thoughts are with the farmer at this traumatic time.”

“You are 100% correct Nick, cruelty to animals is just the start, and the person or people will undoubtedly not stop at animals! This is a horrific crime!!” said a second.
A third replied: “Made me cry. What mindless cruelty. And you’re correct. I’ve previously been in court when the defendant has a history of animal cruelty. They have justified it as childhood antics but what the excuse as they progressed in adulthood to people.”
“What kind of despicable cowardly person could do that to defenceless animals. At times the human race is sickening. So senseless,” ranted a fourth.
While a fifth added: “Absolutely sick & disgusting. So sad for the sheep and the farmer.”
