A farmer has taken to social media to find the culprits who spray painted his sheep and goats purple.
The vandals entered Old Bells Farm, a therapy farm in the New Forest, and used purple antiseptic spray on livestock.
They also vandalised trees, wrote their own names on the wall of a barn and scared horses.
The names 'Chris W, Darren and Lez' were spray-painted on the wall.
Gregory Finch, who co-runs the Hordle-based farm which provides care for people with learning difficulties, called the incident “disgusting”.
The incident happened in the morning or afternoon of Sunday 18 November.
He said on Facebook: “We are asking for information from anybody whose kids have come home with purple on their hands, or your friends at school or if you hear about people boasting about their fun weekend abusing animals.”
Police said they were investigating the incident as criminal damage.
