Dog owners can be fined up to £2,500
There's a reminder for dog owners that failing to control their animals around livestock could ultimately land them in court and facing a fine of up to £2,500.
The message is particularly relevant at the moment, given that it is currently lambing season.
Ninety-one sheep have been killed and 21 injured in such attacks in the Isle of Man in the last two years - figures released following a Freedom of Information request.
Inspector Gavin Callow says the aftermath of one of these attacks is a terrible thing to have to deal with for all involved:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
