Dog owners are being reminded to keep their pets under control in the countryside.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has joined the Manx National Famers' Union to appeal to dog owners to act responsibly and report attacks on livestock.
It's after a rise in dog attacks on animals despite high profile prosecutions and 'shocking' images of maimed animals being shared on social media.
The advice to those exercising dogs in the countryside is to ensure they are under control at all times and avoid fields where livestock are grazing.
MNFU general secretary Andrew Cooper says people may not think their pet is capable of attacking - but it's a dog's natural instinct to chase:
