Livestock Worrying

Sheep on your countryside walks are pregnant and will give birth in the Spring. Help them stay safe by keeping dogs on a lead. 
 
* Livestock worrying is a criminal offence and comes under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953.
 
* A farmer is allowed to kill the dog if it’s worrying their livestock. 
 
Always keep your dog under control around other animals and if you see a dog on the loose worrying animals, report it.
