Owners urged to control dogs to avoid livestock attacks

Dog owners in Donegal are being urged to keep their dogs under control.

An Garda Siochana Donegal issued a statement warning people of the harm their pets can cause if let roam free or unsecured and not kept under effectual control.

A spokesperson said, “With dog ownership comes responsibility. Secure your dog, have it microchipped and registered with your vet.

“This time of year we see issues with sheep kills when dogs attack livestock. Dogs should not be allowed roam.

“Please keep your family pet under effectual control.”
