Farmers plagued by dog attacks
Chris and Margaret Allan have suffered a spate of dog attacks this year.
About 15 lambs and ewes have been mutilated and killed in a series of attacks on their Tramway Rd property since May.
There have been about six or seven separate incidents to date, all involving different dogs, Mr Allan said.
In attacks earlier this year, sheep suffered broken legs, had their ears torn off and throats attacked.
"The way they've left them mutilated I've been disgusted," Mrs Allan said.
The attacks also traumatised the flock and cost about $1000 to $1500 in stock losses.

Let's see... would socialised dogs chase sheep?
Yes they would.
