NSA launches 2022 Sheep Worrying by Dogs survey

Sheep farmers are being encouraged to contribute to a survey of dog attacks on sheep.

The National Sheep Association (NSA) has launched its annual survey to gain an up to date insight on its continued severity and impact on the UK sheep industry.

Sheep worrying incidents by dogs cause significant welfare concerns for sheep and serious upset to sheep farmers whose flocks are affected.

To continue to raise awareness of these incidents and find ways of improving education, guidance and cooperation NSA is inviting all UK sheep farmers, whether they have experienced issues with sheep worrying or not, to contribute to the survey that will be open from now until March 25.
