About 4,000 sheep in Ireland die annually and are injured in dog attacks. Farmers turned to the owners of the dogs so that they would not let the animals out at night.

Matthew McGrihan, a farmer in the Cooley Mountains, owns 450 sheep. In November, he lost 13 lambs due to an attack, and even more animals were injured.

Did you know? In 2015, on the outskirts of Canberra, a sheep was discovered with an abnormally large amount of wool, which was most likely lost. She cut about 40 kg of wool from her, and the haircut took 42 minutes instead of the standard 180 seconds.

Just a few days ago, there was an attack on two pastures, but there was a man who managed to drive the dog away. The dog ran away and attacked the sheep in another place, but he was killed. This was done very on time, the dog was very furious and could cause great damage.

The farmer, who holds more than 300 sheep in the vicinity of Louth County, said his sheep were attacked in December and again after Christmas. He was forced to sleep in the field for two nights to keep the herd safe. During the first attack, which occurred about five weeks ago, one sheep was never found. And the dogs would have pulled wool from others, but they were stopped in time by farmers.

One of the 49 full-time dog watchmen in the country described the importance of quickly stopping dogs. The dog thinks that running after the sheep is a game. Especially often so breeds of hunting dogs. The dog does not even need to kill the sheep. As a result of such fuss and running around, they fall, fall into ditches or die of stress themselves.

It is very important, as soon as the dog has been noticed, stop it immediately and drive it out. For read hours, they can cause incredible damage.
