"‘Worrying’ is where a dog attacks or chases livestock causing injury or suffering.
"This isn’t just a threat to a farmer or landowner’s livelihood, it’s also a dangerous situation for the animals involved, and could lead to more risk if the animals get onto the road.
"Always keep your dog under control around other animals and if you see a dog on the loose worrying animals, report it to us".
