East Galway TD Seán Canney has this week urged dog owners to be mindful of attacks on sheep as the lambing season approaches.
“All pets should be kept under control and dog owners should be aware of where their pets are at all times.
“Every year farmers in County Galway lose sheep to dog attacks and I would urge all pet owners to keep their pets under control at all times.
“It is hugely distressing for farmers to see sheep killed, maimed, and injured as a result of these needless attacks and I would urge local communities to be mindful of the need to prevent these attacks.”
