RAF Flights "Scaring Newborn Lambs And Pregnant Goats"

Aircraft flying over a farm in Wroughton are frightening farmyard animals according to the manager of a Wiltshire tourist attraction.

The Swindon Advertiser reports that livestock were injuring themselves at the Studley Grange Butterfly World and Farm Park because they were terrified by the extremely loud noise of the aircraft.

General Manager of the farm Jackie Gusscott told the paper:

“It petrifies the animals. We have a lot of pregnant goats and sheep and it’s causing a lot of stress while they’re giving birth."

“One ewe gave birth to a dead lamb and we may end up losing a lot of lambs and baby goats if this continues.”

The paper also reports that the butterflies at Butterfly World on the same site were reportedly unfazed by the roar of the jets.

RAF Brize Norton has not commented of the story.
