Animals unleashed? (6)
I believe the answer is:
strays
'animals' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Homeless animals ' mean 'strays' so perhaps 'animals' could also mean 'strays')
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strays that I've seen before include "Wanders off the right path" , "Homeless people's" , "Wanders off the beaten track, gets lost" , "Goes off course" , "Gets lost, wanders away from the track" .)
