It is a criminal offence for owners to allow dogs to “worry livestock on agricultural land” and farmers are entitled to shoot them. Worrying livestock is defined as attacking livestock, chasing livestock or being at large in a field or enclosure in which there are sheep.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Its an offence for a dog not to be on a lead OR under close control under The Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 s1(2)(c) although "close control" is not defined. Section 9 of the Animals Act 1971 provides that the owner of livestock, the landowner or anyone acting on their behalf, is entitled to shoot any dog if they believe it is the only reasonable way of stopping it worrying livestock. Its not as clear cut as it seems.The RSPCA seem to look into each case so you would think a farmer would think twice before shooting a dog. Having said that there is no excuse for dogs to run wild in a field with livestock in. Its commonsense on both sides www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/1777750.print/ www.smallholder.co.uk/news/smallholdernews/10628247.Suspended_prison_sentence_for_farmer_who_shot_dogs/ As to saying "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED" you have only been warned if you read this thread |
