SHOULD sheep badgers pay for damage to property?

This morning I opened my gate to go out, but popped back inside for a few minutes.When I came back there were about 15 sheep in my garden. I ushered them out but one ran into the fence and broke the end panel.

Surely the owner of the sheep would be liable for this damage? The sheep also left behind five piles of excrement!

Surely sheep should be in the Forest, not in the village?
