A woman has been left devastated after her dog fell through a controversial cattle grid which resulted in a broken neck. Sadly, seven-year-old Schnoodle (Schnauzer and Poodle cross) Eva died as a result of her injuries. Her owner, Jo Walters, claims that the cattle grid was only installed in Castle Meadows Park, Abergavenny, two days before the incident.
Ms Walters said she often walked Eva at the Castle Meadows which is around 20 hectares of riverside meadow next to the River Usk. Cattle also graze in the park. The cattle grid was installed as part of Monmouthshire Council's active travel scheme.
She said there had been lots of opposition to the grid from local residents, and the only reason she was near the grid in the first place on Friday, April 28, was to scan a QR code and leave her view that she did not think it was safe to have it in an area so abundant with wildlife and where dogs are walked.
