Survey seeks farmers' views on sheep worrying
The National Sheep Association has launched a new survey to gather farmers' experiences of sheep worrying.
The survey, which is available to complete online, consists of a series of questions about victims' experience of sheep worrying, from the most common injuries caused by dog attacks to the impact of lockdown.
