Farmer's daughter calls for dog control after horrific sheep attack

"The farm has no rights of way or footpaths on-site and so we are lead to believe these dogs have strayed from a walk or escaped from a garden.

"Due to the severity of the injuries and the fact the attack occurred over two fields, we believe the dog or dogs must have been unaccounted for for quite some time and would have undoubtedly returned home covered in blood.

"The state of the sheep following the attack is obviously distressing and we’d like to think the owners of the dogs, when they realised what their dogs had done, would have come forward and taken responsibility.

"But mostly we want the message out there of the importance of keeping dogs on leads and under control at all times in the countryside."
