Several Shaun the Sheep statues, created to raise money for a Newcastle hospice, have been damaged.
The continued vandalism of sculptures on a popular art trail is having a huge "emotional impact", its organisers say.
"Every time somebody damages one of these sculptures, it takes resources away from a local hospice," she said."It's just such a shame, that level of disrespect for something that's just meant to be a nice, free, accessible fun thing to do over the summer," she added.
"It's just the amount of time wasted when everybody should be working on other things for the hospice," she said.The attack on some of the sheep has been captured on CCTV.
