Information from Derbyshire Police about Dogs & Livestock
“Yes, nine times out of ten your dog is well trained, and it won’t (chase sheep). But can you guarantee 100% that it won’t? And could you deal with the trauma of your animal injuring another animal, and potentially being injured itself or having restrictions.” We’re supporting a national campaign urging dog walkers to keep their pets safe and under control around livestock. Operation Recall is taking place over the Easter bank holiday weekend with the key message of: Protect your dog. Protect livestock. In Derby, we’re extremely lucky to be surrounded by countryside to walk in and enjoy.
However, this countryside is also a workplace for many and home to thousands of sheep, cows and other livestock. A dog chasing or attacking livestock is a crime and can cause emotional and financial damage for both farmer and the dog’s owner. More information on this RSPCA backed campaign is here
