FARMERS are urging dog owners to keep their pets under control after a pregnant ewe was attacked and killed in a field in Fawley.

The animal, which was expecting twins, was chased and attacked by dogs and died less than 24 hours later as a result of her injuries.

Police are investigating the incident on Wednesday last week.

Landowners are concerned that their animals are vulnerable with lambing season fast approaching.

Anyone with information should call Dogwatch on 07721 462672.
