Plea to dog owners over 'horrendous' sheep worrying

Dog owners are being urged to keep their pets under control around livestock, as lambing season reaches its peak.

One respected Cumbrian farmer was left distraught after one of her valuable Herdwick rams was mauled so badly it had to be put down.

The attack cost Jean Wilson hundreds of pounds, and has taken an emotional toll.

Lake District National Park ranger Val Edmondson says sheep worrying is the result of a "mindless" minority of dog owners, and can have "horrendous" consequences.
