Three dogs shot after four separate sheep attacks in Cheshire

Police are warning the public to ensure they have control of their pets when around livestock, after three dogs were recently shot in Cheshire alone.

Police are reminding owners to have control over their dogs when they are walking in the countryside following last month's incidents.

Twenty-five sheep were killed in four separate incidents in Cheshire alone, resulting in farmers shooting three dogs due to the unfolding shocking scenes.

It is an offence to allow a dog to worry sheep, including attacking, injuring or even just chasing sheep.
