Local Farmer Breeding Pit-Bull Sheep To Ward Off Dog Attacks

SICK of losing livestock to roaming dogs, local sheep farmer Michael O’Dwyer has defended criticism of his new genetically modified ‘pit-bull sheep’, an animal he claims has finally brought peace to the farm.

Critics say the 37-year-old is ‘playing with nature’ but O’Dwyer insists the results speak for themselves.

“We haven’t had any losses since getting these bad boys in,” he said, proudly showcasing one of the muscular sheep, which he claims not only protects the flock but also produces twice the wool of a normal sheep.

“The only carcasses I find on the farm now are the dogs that try to trespass and attack my sheep,” he said, struggling to control one pit-bull sheep as it snarled at this reporter. “Oh don’t worry, he won’t bite,” O’Dwyer added reassuringly then winking sarcastically, “it’s only when they have a bad owner they attack.”

Protesters outside the farm claim that since the introduction of the new breed, dozens of local dogs have either gone missing or their remains have mysteriously appeared near the farm gates.

“I guess it’s a taste of their own medicine really,” O’Dwyer continued, admitting he is now struggling to keep sheepdogs on the farm to help manage the increasingly aggressive flock.

“Look, you can’t have it every way.”

Following the apparent success of the new sheep, O’Dwyer revealed he is already experimenting with further genetic crossovers melding hens and reptiles.

“It’ll basically be a velociraptor,” he explained calmly. “but a cute little one that slices foxes in two”.
