Killer dogs that slaughtered 50 lambs worth €10,000 must be caught and put down before they attack a person, it was claimed.
Farmer John Healy, 47, from Moneygall in Co Offaly, revealed yesterday how he was left traumatised when he discovered the bloody attack on Saturday.
Another 20 sheep were killed days earlier at Moyvalley in Co Kildare, according to the Irish Farmers’ Association’s sheep committee chairman Kevin Comiskey.
