Cases
latest first- Dog attacks on livestock reported in Arva, Longford Animal welfare (dog attack on livestock) · Co. Longford
On 3 November 2022, dogs believed to be a black and white collie and a tan coloured hound attacked sheep flocks in Arva, Longford, killing lambs belonging to three neighbouring farmers. A second attack in early December 2022 killed six ewes belonging to 66-year-old Richard Eakins, a father of two from Arva. In the first attack, one farmer lost three lambs weighing 45 to 50 kg, another lost five lambs, and Eakins lost three ewes at the start of gestation. The dogs were seen by the farmers but were too far away to be caught. The incident was reported to the Longford Leader in December 2022.
