Lambs killed in Baldrine

Dogs must be kept under control say police

Police are warning dog owners to keep their animals under control when out walking.

It's after several cases of sheep-worrying around the Baldrine area where a large number of lambs have been killed and ewes injured, resulting in them being put down.

They add sheep can be very sensitive at this time and the very presence of a dog can cause stress to the animals, resulting in their death.

Officers say that during lambing season it is vitally important dogs are kept on a lead and under control at all times.
