Davva Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Legal/Moral issues aside, the dog owner may appear after you shot his dog and go at you with a knife or a solicitor or anything!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 To clarify for others: http://www.bobw.co.uk/Default.aspx?page=legal%20position25984 Can a farmer legally shoot a dog?Section 9 of the Animals Act 1971 provides that the owner of livestock, the landowner or anyone acting on their behalf, is entitled to shoot any dog if they believe it is the only reasonable way of stopping it worrying livestock. Such action must be reported to the local police within 48 hours. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1971/22 I am NOT planning to go dog shooting, sure I don't want to, and not sure I could if called upon. But I was offered permission without even asking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
