Gli allevatori di pecore chiedono maggiore sostegno contro gli attacchi dei cani

Absolutely unacceptable behaviour from reckless dog owners in light of the latest spike in attacks highlighted by farmers, sheep and lambs are livestock, not playthings. These needless attacks devastate farmers financially and emotionally, and it’s on owners to keep dogs under control, on leads, and away from farmland. If you can’t handle basic responsibility for your animal, don’t take it near livestock. Enough is enough.

I actually used to think this was bollocks and that it must be really uncommon now as the those hunting foxes and badgers with dogs of prey has dwindled down until I seen a couple of youtube videos of a man in Scotland whose sheep had been mauled by a spaniel on one occasion and a beeson frise in another because his land was next to wooded area where people let their dogs off.

The thirst for blood when they see these sheep is something else. The dog owners pathetic attempt to get the dog back really riled me and I’d no skin in the game. People give farmers a hard time over dogs but at the end of the day it’s trespassing and if you don’t have a recall or control of your dog don’t have them in these situations
