KARACHI: Five sheep have been found dead with blood dripping out of their mouths at a compound near a private farm in District Malir, Geo News reported Wednesday.
According to a doctor at Sindh Livestock Department, the exact nature of the disease that the dead sheep suffered from would be ascertained in investigation. "However, it appears from the way these sheep bled from their mouth that they were sick," he added.
Meanwhile, a report had been received earlier which alleged that an attempt was made to hide the sheep imported from Australia. A government team, on an intelligence report, raided a compound near a private farm in Malir District and discovered the sheep kept hidden at the facility.
An Assistant Commissioner and a Mukhtarkar were part of the team that conducted the raid.
According to Deputy Commissioner Malir, Qazi Jan Muhammad around 3000 sheep were hidden away by the importer at a compound which had been sealed after recovering the sheep. http://www.thenews.com.pk/article-68395-5-dead-sheep-found-bleeding-in-mouth?
