My sympathies are with the sheep. There are too many uncontrolled and downright dangerous dogs about.
Your problem Otley Lad is caused by irresponsible idiots with dogs.
The place for dogs is no where near other folks livestock. They cause stress at the least and often far worse.
Sheep are sentiment beings with instincts and feelings. Sheep have a value .
Litterbugs, they are everywhere. Public access means idiot access. I'm fed up of pulling takeaway rubbish and unwanted household stuff out of the local canal.
You've touched a raw nerve, unprovoked attack by a large dog in a public place scared the shit out of me never mind a sheep. |
Bingo.
Even when I worked with my sheepdog on public-access land checking sheep, she had to be put on the lead when not actively gathering, just so every eejit didn't think "oh it's okay for them, I'll just let off my three alsatians to run off some steam".
Incidentally, ground nesting birds are getting rarer because there is just more pressure on the same area of land from livestock, people, dogs, farming methods....
So I really do sympathise but I'm not sure there's a solution, especially so close to major urban areas. |
