*Please Share* As well as a huge cause of heartbreak in farming communities throughout Scotland, livestock worrying is a criminal offence.
Sheep chasing and attacks by dogs can inflict huge and unnecessary suffering on sheep and are utterly devastating for the farming families impacted.
Even a well-trained, well-behaved dog can switch off when they see and hear sheep - leaving dog owners distraught and distressed too when things go badly wrong.
🐕🐾Please be a responsible dog owner around livestock. Don’t risk it. For the sake of the sheep, the farmer, yourself AND your dog.
