Molly here was lucky i was not the farmer with a gun after its stupid owners allowed it to run across a field from the woods....thankfully there was only a big old horse in the field and no sheep #dogwalking #livestockworrying
Livestock worrying is a criminal offence and comes under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953.
‘Livestock Worrying’ is when a dog attacks, scares or chases livestock causing injury or suffering.
If you see it, report it

No matter how well behaved, it's best to keep dogs on leads near livestock. Animals can be unpredictable and a walk in the countryside should be a relaxing and stress free activity for all. #livestockworrying

Following a recent rise in reported sheep worrying we’d like to stress the seriousness of not being in control of your dogs around other animals. Please keep your dog on a lead especially when walking along footpaths that pass through farmers fields! #TakeALead #LiveStockWorrying
