Hi-tech help has been offered to the owner of a water buffalo at the centre of a series of attacks.
The buffalo, called Oink, weighs more than a tonne and has been the victim of harassment and injury on land in Darley Abbey village in Derbyshire.
Stones and bricks have been thrown at him, hay set on fire and washing up liquid put in his water.
Local resident Steve Lakin has donated a CCTV system to keep an eye on Oink and deter any other attacks.
Mr Lakin installed the cameras and some lights and hopes it will offer the animal some peace.
