Farmer's reminder in light of dog attacks
Dogwalkers are being reminded that, no matter how good their pet's recall, a lead should always be used when you're walking near sheep.
It's the time of year when many ewes around the Island are pregnant, with lambs due any moment.
Will Cain is a dairy farmer at Glendown Farm, which keeps sheep at the Chasms.
He told Manx Radio there can be many consequences of a dog attack:
Douglas Council objects to a 'Food Warehouse by Iceland' planning application
Local authority says social benefits of store don't outweigh planning objectives
Bus drivers support industrial action
Manx Radio understands it's over disputes about pay and contracts
Douglas Council leader defends plan to sell social homes to fund new builds
Devon Watson says directing 100% of the sale proceeds into new housing is a bold step to cut waiting lists
Amber coastal overtopping alert issued
Strong southeast gales are expected to drive waves over promenades later tonight
