Question
What is the Welsh Government doing to tackle dog attacks on livestock in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Dog owners should familiarise themselves with Natural Resources Wales’ Countryside Code which provides clear guidance on the responsibility of dog owners to keep their dogs under effective control.
As a result of ongoing engagement, we have worked with Blue Cross so that their responsible dog courses include a module on livestock attacks. Messages are also shared regularly on responsible ownership through social media.
