POLICE are asking dog walkers to take responsibility for their pets after lambs were savaged in a livestock attack near Saundersfoot.
Three pedigree lambs were attacked in New Hedges on February 10, and two were badly injured.
Dyfed-Powys Police said: “No dog identified; a public footpath runs below the fields.
“Please will all dog owners start to take responsibility for their dogs.”
Dog owners are reminded of this advice when walking in the countryside:
• Do not allow your dog to enter a field on its own and keep it under your control at all times.
• Keep your dog on a lead when crossing through fields that contain livestock.
• Stick to public right of ways.
When at home:
• Make sure you know where your dog is at all times.
• Ensure that your property is secure and that your dog cannot escape day or night.
• If you know your dog has previously chased or attacked sheep then take responsible measures to prevent it happening again.
