Furious farmer calls for dog control in Ashhurst

A dog is the pound after it was caught in the act of attacking sheep on an Ashhurst farm.

One sheep lay dead, another limped around ruined after a dog attack on the Mulgrave Street property.

The 29 hoggets were chased by a dog yesterday morning, sheep owner Stuart Bolton said.
One was attacked from the back by the dog, then mauled around the head. The other hogget's leg hung limply from the injuries it received.

Mr Bolton had to kill the sheep, it was so badly mauled. MORE>>

That really gets my goat that they don't have the necessary dog control people out there. Instead they have them in towns where they've got nothing better to do other than fine good dog owners. Disparaties...
