So if a dog has pulled a sheep down, the farmer can shoot it?

A dog deemed to be WORRYING any livestock is reason enough to sllow a farmer to shoot it, be it chickens, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, doesn't matter. Worrying needn't neccessarily be chasing either! On the other hand i do feel for farmers who loose sheep to dogs. 99% of the time its non working pet dogs let run loose around the place and go on the prowl at night. Another case i know of it turned out to be his own sheep dog was a rogue and started killing at night after working them perfect during the day!!

 

I was reading three cases of dog attacks on sheep in the farmers journal this week. Three cases in co meath. They destroyed a hell of alot of sheep.... Think they managed to shoot one, a lab x alasation the farmer reconed it was.

 

Sheep are funny fuckers, After a fright like a dog attack the whole flock could abort and a good amount of them if not all will not go in lamb the following year by all accounts.

Do you believe it's your responsibility to protect another mans livelihood from a dog that's turned it's head to sheep by putting it down with no hesitation or do you believe you owe it to the dog to break it with the use of certain technics I.e the use of shock collars ect?

 

Personally I will try break the dog.

Its the owners duty to stock train his dogs,many find that a tedious exercise.Accidents happen at times,if they happen twice then its time to dig an hole,3 times and its the owner that needs the shock collar.

Agree, an remember the op was not wether a dog had a chase or pulled a fleece. We are talki.g about a dog thats gone the whole hog and killed a sheep
