chrisjpainter Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Why can't people obey signs? We've just had a dog attack one one of our sheep, by a dog hurtling round our wildlife reserve. no sign of any owner at all, no sign of any collar! Makes my blood boil! 'Keep your dog on a lead' signs are there for a reason! Sheep's not in a good way, but I bet if the owner was ever traced, we'd get the line 'oh my dog wouldn't do that!' Course not. tell that to the poor thing that's now probably got to be put down. Bad start to the day or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 A lot don't even realise the harm done to pregnant sheep being chased even if not caught by the dog. Our woodland is surrounded by sheep fields and still would be woodland owners have walked the access track through the fields with dogs running loose. Farmer has had to tell a few of them to lead up. Fortunatley none have purchased a plot. Hoping the nice sensible couple we met last week buys one of the last remaining plots. Their dog was on the lead even in the wood. He shoots too.

If the dog is doing that and attacking wildlife and stock, sod the PR, well within the law to destroy the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Don’t get me started with dogs at the moment, my fox terrier was bitten last week whilst on the lead by a black lab off his lead, after I drove my feet into the lab the owner then praised the dog for biting mine...and said how bad my dog was for needing to be on a lead, the last two occasions of my dog being bitten/attacked have been by women in there 60s with large dogs off leads... it’s as if they own the place and think they can do what they want, with out a care in the world..

ips Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 we have two unfenced footpaths through the estate. When dogging in I am constantly asking folk to stay on the footpath and to leash there dog. on Mondays shoot whilst waiting to enter a wood to beat the final drive we spotted a bloke hundred yards off the footpath dog off a lead chasing a ball. Keepers wife / head beater says "go and have a word Ian" I had a polite word and off he went all apologetic, signs are all over the place and he knew it was a shoot day....grrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 As more out of town housing estates are built on green belt it will get worse, I remember a small farm I had shot for years, it was great for rabbits, the neighboring land was sold and 200 houses were built, the occupants of these properties treated the surrounding farm land like a park, in the end the farmer stopped putting any live stock on the fields because of the trouble he was getting from people trespassing with their dogs.

Clodhopper Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 We had a sheep killed not long ago, unfortunately we were not there at the time, only found the dead animal. It cant possibly be one of the local idiots dogs because i am constantly being told that their dogs only want to play and would not hurt a thing. Total morons.

stumfelter Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 On our shoot we put up signs saying, vermin control in operation all dogs must be kept on a lead. Seems to work because they don't know what might happen to little fluffy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'm a dog lover, and it's the dumb arrogant owners fault anyhow. And even being an ex-cop myself, i doubt they would be interested, as i hear lots of current stories from Police friends who are at their wits end already, as they don't have the resources to deal with serious crime these days. Very frustrating.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I read somewhere once not to damage all 4 tyres as they can claim on their insurance but 3 dead tyres come out of their own pocket. I don’t know how accuratethar is though. The only thing you can do without fear of getting yourself in trouble is getting a name and if possible an address and reporting it to 101. It becomes harassment after two incidents and age can be prosecuted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 It is becoming a real problem, I think the heart of which lies with how overpopulated the UK has become, I've never known so much conflict between dog walkers and landowners/general public.

ShootingEgg Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Mate an myself today working on our shoot noticed two people and two dogs miles off the foot path, so hopped on quad and over we went. Nice young couple and the girl said straight away can you point us towards the footpath, wece completely lost it.. So we got lucky, just asked them to put the dogs on lead for the last field as sheep in it. And they were on their way. But ive had a few idiots on the land when ive been out shooting.. And they seem to take offence when i say they are off the footpath and there is live firing in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 At the risk of seeming anti dog , and I am not a great fan having seen a totaly unprovoked attack on an 18 month old toddler by a dog jumping out of a car , Is it not time that a proper licensing system was introduced to reduce the number of "non essential" dogs as they are a menace in the countryside as well as public parks and urbane footpaths .
