Kildare farmer Kevin Burke after the attack
Jamie Leonard at the Irish Farmers Journal, writes:
It is occurs like clockwork every year but the issue of sheep attacks in back on the agenda again. A Kildare father and son are counting the cost of a dog attack which left 13 sheep dead.
Pat and Kevin Burke, of Castledermot, County Kildare discovered last Thursday that 10 sheep had been killed in the attack, with the vet having to put down three more after they were found injured. The photo speaks for itself and more are printed inside today’s Irish Farmers Journal.
The Burkes said two dogs were seen roaming on the property…
This is a topic that is of broad interest with so many dog owners in the country and there is an important message to get across – don’t be careless and allow your dog to roam as the consequences can be devastating.

Awful.
But I think it would be a better photo if he were grinning maniacally.
That is highly inappropriate.
First Mildred, now you.
She’s right.
Then we could’ve had a caption competition.
An “I Shot JR” t-shirt also wouldn’t go astray..
Desperate comment.
That photo is a model to end up as a Morrissey album cover
Did you see him on Graham Norton recently? Comical.
literally or…?
He sang ‘Spent the Day in Bed’, sounding like a recaltricant teenager. Then didn’t go over to join the crew on the sofa.
He’s an awful wally. I was actually giggling watching him perform. How old is he? 50 something?
He’ll be 59 next May 22nd. :)
Janey Mac. I forget how old I am, sometimes. Morrissey’s nearly 60.
I’ve had an attack of the vapours.
My meat is murder…..
It’s an amazing photo
Anyone remember this?

Was just thinking of it!
time for a revival
I remember being scared pooless by that ad. What’s worse my Grandma’s dog looked just like the star of the ad.
Shoot the dogs. Farmers are entitled to.
