Dog owners in England and Wales now face unlimited fines if their pets worry livestock, including newly protected llamas and alpacas. Peers and MPs have jointly agreed to lift the previous £1,000 cap on penalties for dog attacks on farm animals.
This change, part of the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Bill, extends safeguards to camelids, placing them on par with goats, sheep, cattle, and poultry.
