New measures to crackdown on livestock attacks will make a huge difference says North Wales Police Rural Crime manager
New measures to crack down on livestock worrying will make a huge difference in enabling police to investigate and reduce offences, the manager of North Wales Police rural crime team has said.
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.
