New Dogs Bill to boost livestock protection

The Journal

|

December 06, 2025

DOG walkers will face an unlimited fine if their pet worries livestock, including lamas, alpacas and sheep.

Peers and MPs have both agreed to lift a £1,000 cap on fines, which English and Welsh courts can impose in dog attack cases.

They have also agreed to give camelids ~ including llamas and alpacas - the same protections that goats, sheep, cattle and poultry have, as part of the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Bill.
