Depraved teenagers attacked sheep with sticks, pelted them with bricks and ripped off their horns, leaving a country park looking ‘like a murder scene’, a court heard.<\/p>\n

The gang laughed as they attacked the animals, with one 14-year-old boy inflicting an ‘uppercut with a piece of wood’ before riding the animal.<\/p>\n

When police were called to the ‘grotesque crime<\/a>‘ they found the four youths – three boys and a girl – were ‘jovial’.<\/p>\n

The gang laughed as they attacked the animals, with one 14-year-old boy inflicting an ‘uppercut with a piece of wood’ before riding the animal. Pictured: one of the sheep targeted<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The court heard one officer said ‘the level of blood was tantamount to a murder scene’ at the Alver Valley Country Park in Gosport, Hampshire. <\/p>\n

Two of the boys had also attacked sheep – ripping off a horn – two days earlier.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Lucy Linington told Portsmouth Youth Court a witness had called police after spotting the gang throwing bricks at the sheep on May 1 this year.<\/p>\n

She said: ‘They were laughing and not in any way aware as to the level of inflicted damage and depravity.<\/p>\n

‘The injuries sustained to some of the sheep were such that their horns were entirely removed.’<\/p>\n

She said the sheep were ‘panting, distressed, clearly in extreme pain’ and that one gang member had said ‘this is fun’.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old girl, two 14-year-old boys and a 13-year-old boy, none of whom can be named because of their ages, were castigated by a judge for their cruelty.<\/p>\n

Sentencing them, District judge Anthony Callaway said: ‘This is quite a grotesque act. Most decent people would be revolted by what you’ve done.<\/p>\n

‘To treat helpless animals in that way and to arm yourselves to do it is disgusting.<\/p>\n

Two of the boys had also attacked sheep – ripping off a horn – two days earlier at the country park (pictured) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘Were you adults you’d go straight to prison and deserve to go to prison.<\/p>\n

‘I’d like to send you all to prison but the law says I can’t do that.’<\/p>\n

The judge imposed a 12-month referral order on the 15-year-old girl and the 14-year-old boy, both from Gosport. They admitted one charge of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.<\/p>\n

The 13-year-old boy received a nine-month extension to a current three-month referral order, and the other 14-year-old boy, from the Southampton area, received a 12-month youth rehabilitation order. <\/p>\n

They both admitted two charges of causing suffering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
