Sheep Worrying Awareness Week: Your questions answered - 'ring the police every single time'

Livestock worrying remains a serious and distressing problem for many rural communities—one that often worsens during holiday periods like Easter, when more families venture into the countryside with their dogs.

This Easter, Farmers Guardian revisits a special livestock worrying podcast, featuring Wales Wildlife and Rural Crime Co-ordinator, Rob Taylor.

In this discussion, Rob answers questions from our podcast listeners on dog attacks, farmers' legal rights, and the steps the industry can take to tackle the issue.

The episode sheds light on the challenges and helps raise awareness of how to keep both livestock and pets safe.
