The policve are talking absolute BULLSHIT mate,you can only shoot a dog that is worrying sheep if you have tried every other avenue to stop the animal,and,they would have to bve very sure they could prove that as well.I would seek the advice of a solicitor.Or,wait a few weeks and go and shoot every sheep in the field,and,I'm afraid that is what I would do,I would go to jail for my dogs.....FACT.................martin.
p.s. try the lawyer that advertises in the Countrymans weekly.
