Massacre in a sheepfold: two Pitbulls maul 30 goats - Sinnai, Italy - April 2026

Goat massacre in a sheepfold in "Sa Nucci," in the Sinnai countryside. Two pit bulls, after straying from a country home, broke into the herd's enclosure, mauling and killing thirty goats.

The farmer's family reported the incident to the local police, who immediately launched an investigation.

The two dogs, who had remained inside the enclosure, were captured by staff at the Shardana kennel. Local police reconstructed the entire incident, including tracing the owner of the two pit bulls.

A veterinarian from the local health authority was also on site and ordered the animals to be seized and monitored. They will remain isolated until April 11th, without receiving immunization treatments, to check for any signs of rabies.
