Calls for dogs on leads when using Public Rights of Way

Wed, 12 Jan 2022

The Department of Infrastructure are calling for residents with dogs to consider sheep during the lambing season.

They say all dogs should be kept under control when walking the Island's public rights of way. Many of the paths run through or are adjacent to farmland.

The end of February and the beginning of March are peak times for lambing.

Manx farmers have reported an increase in the number of sheep worrying incidents in recent years.
