Warning to secure dogs

Twizel residents are being warned to ensure their dogs are secure following a weekend dog attack which saw in-lamb ewes having to be destroyed.

Mackenzie District Council animal control officer Scott Aronsen said it wasn't clear whether there had been one or two separate attacks on sheep grazing on Ben Ohau Station, on the outskirts of Twizel.

Mr Aronsen was first called to the property on Saturday morning. A dozen in-lamb merinos had to be destroyed at that stage as they all had puncture wounds to their sides.
He was called back to the property late yesterday afternoon after more injured animals were found in a mob about one kilometre away. A further 10 ewes had to be destroyed because of their injuries. The ewes and their lambs had an estimated value of around $3000. MORE>>
