Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many incidents of livestock worrying by dogs were (a) reported, (b) investigated and (c) resulted in charges in England in 2022.
This question was answered on 9th February 2023
The Government takes the issue of livestock worrying very seriously, recognising the distress this can cause farmers and animals, as well as the financial implications. Individual police forces record the number of incidents of livestock worrying per year and Defra does not hold a central record.
