Dogs plea after lambs and ewes killed

The Manx National Farmers Union is reminding people to keep their dogs under control after a spate of attacks on lambs this weekend.

On Facebook, the organisation says a number of dogs were reported to be chasing livestock and killing lambs across the Island.

One incident saw heavily pregnant ewes chased to exhaustion - with one dying and others suffering stress - while another saw lambs savaged to death.

The MNFU says all dogs need to be under control while out in the countryside.
