There are calls for dog owners to be extra vigilant after an incident in Turloughmore where sheep were killed

Independent Deputy for Galway West, Noel Grealish says the slaughter of sheep by dogs is extremely distressing for a farmer

He says it's an income loss for the farmer who may also have to pay for vet’s fees and disposal of the animal

He adds it's also distressing for the dog owner who may have to put the family pet to sleep after such an attack
