�� Lambing season reminder – please keep dogs on leads ��
Lambing season will soon be underway and we would like to remind everyone using
our local footpaths and countryside to please keep dogs on a short lead when walking
through or alongside fields with sheep.
Even the most well-behaved dogs can instinctively chase livestock, particularly at this
time of year. This behaviour is often driven by excitement or play, rather than
aggression but it can still cause serious distress to ewes leading to abortion,
exhaustion, shock and, in some cases, death.
Under the law, farmers are entitled to protect their animals. If a dog is worrying livestock
and cannot be brought under control, a farmer may lawfully shoot the dog as a last
resort. Penalties for livestock worrying have also increased.
These situations are entirely avoidable. Responsible dog control helps protect
livestock, supports our local farmers and keeps everyone safe while enjoying the
countryside.
Thank you for your cooperation and for respecting our rural communities.”
