Dog owners asked to keep their animals under control after a sheep attack

Police in South Devon are reminding dog owners of the need to keep their animals under control following an attack on sheep in the Bala Brook area of South Brent in February 2013.

Police enquiries have yet to identify the white Jack Russell and a small brown Poodle/Terrier type dog that were chased off during the incident on 7 February. The sheep suffered minor injuries.
A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said, “Owners must ensure their pets are not allowed into any fields with livestock.

“Walkers in the countryside should keep their dogs in sight and always on a lead whenever near farm animals, while people who live near farms must make sure their pets are secure in their homes or gardens to prevent any attacks on sheep and other livestock.

Anyone who can identify the two dogs involved in this incident is asked to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 quoting crime reference JS/13/152
