Woman accused of allowing dog to attack livestock

Greyhound 'Jack' allegedly worried animals

A Lonan woman, accused of letting her dog attack livestock, will appear in court again next month.

Sixty-five-year-old Victoria Ina Losen of Ballabeg appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Christopher Arrowsmith at Douglas courthouse.

She hasn't yet been asked to enter a plea to one count of having a greyhound called Jack which worried livestock, and breaching a control order made by magistrates in February last year.

Miss Losen was bailed to next appear in court on 10 September.

UPDATE: In June 2021, Miss Losen admitted that she was the keeper of a dog that had worried livestock contrary to section 19 of the Dogs Act 1990.

A control order was made requiring Jack to be kept under proper control, in particular by ensuring that at all times the dog is in public it is kept on a lead and muzzled.
