The worry of sheep worrying

In this discussion with Gill Carnegie of NFU Mutual on this current topic, we focus on:

• The newly passed Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill

• The options for recovery – suing for damages and compensation via criminal prosecution

• Insurance cover for losses – availability, actions to reduce the cost

• What can be done to reduce the likelihood of it happening in the first place

• Why the new Bill isn't the end of the story and what more is required to effectively deal with the problem and compensate farmers
