Mr Bailey, who has lived in the area for 35 years, said although some of his birds escaped the attack and were uninjured, they went on to die of 69-year-old told the Local Democracy Reporting Service the lead-up to the attack was witnessed by a local resident, who called police."They took all the fence off and let the dogs in there and were just trying to rip the chickens to bits," he said, adding it had been "heartbreaking" and "demoralising". "I've had them for years and you get to know them, do you know what I mean?"They're more like pets. I don't know what goes through the minds of people." 'More needs to be done' Theft and arson have also been a problem, and there are calls for the council to fund about £20,000 to buy a new metal fence to replace a wooden one. Eston ward Conservative councillor David Taylor said: "The council doesn't have any money, especially in neighbourhoods, so the money is going to have to be found from somewhere else."When you look at other allotments in the area, Normanby being one, they have had metal fencing done. Bankfields haven't and it is a focus for criminality."He added: "What's happening is disgusting, animals are being killed and more needs to be done."
