Sheep killed in Colby dog attack

There's a plea for dog owners to keep their pets on leads near livestock, after another attack on sheep at the weekend.

The Manx National Farmers Union says sheep near the railway line in Colby died after being chased into the river by a loose dog.

The union's asking witnesses to contact police and says people were spotted leaving the area in a hurry at the time of the incident.

It's appealing to dog walkers to stop causing suffering, and put pets on a lead.
