Livestock Worrying – please keep dogs on leads
There have been numerous reports of livestock being killed or injured in the area.
Livestock worrying is when a dog attacks or chases livestock on agricultural land or is at large in a field with sheep, which can result in significant injury or suffering and in the worst cases, death of the animals involved. This also has devastating consequences for livestock keepers, causing personal distress as well as significant financial costs.
Please keep dogs on leads near livestock.
