As we enter lambing season, the Countryside Alliance is urging the public to keep dogs on leads. Many dog owners may be unaware of the devastating impact that livestock worrying can have. It’s easy to assume that if a dog does not physically attack an animal, no harm has been done, however, the reality is far more severe.
