Second pit bull attack adds to calls for stricter control

On Thursday, an unmuzzled pit bull terrier bit a cow on the nose which was grazing in a field at Clash, on the outskirts of Tralee.

The incident came four days after another pit bull savaged a pet husky dog, called Neeko, in a park at Shanakill, on the other side of Tralee. In that incident, the pit bull was put down. The seven-month-old husky sustained a number of injuries but is recovering after veterinary treatment.
