Two major attacks in which over 26 sheep have been killed in central coast Maine have occurred. These killings have taken place in a pasture in Wiscasset, Maine, over the last weekend and on Monday, June 3-5, 2007.

The Downeast Maine location is well-known for having Black Panther sightings during the last 20 years.
