Dog attack spotlight: New laws in the pipeline would give police more power

Episode 159 Published 3 years, 8 months ago
Description

Dog attacks on livestock take their toll on everybody involved and sadly it is an issue that continues to plight the countryside.

In this episode Hannah Park speaks to Wales rural and wildlife police crime co-ordinator Rob Taylor who outlines what new laws could mean for those affected. He explains how these would give police more powers when it comes to dealing with dog owners who repeatedly allow their dogs to chase livestock, including tougher penalties and putting restrictions on dog ownership.

We were also joined by Nicola Noble at the National Sheep Association, a body that continues to bang the drum for change through evidence gathering and lobbying for a change to the law.
