When is it LEGAL for a farmer/landowner/keeper to shoot a lurcher? Im asking cos i was walking the dogs a few weeks ago and was told to bugger off by some jobsworth saying i was on private property bla bla. The following week im in the same area (not the same bit of land) and the same jobsworth comes up and again tells me to bugger off bla bla. He told me they have a serious problem with dogs chasing deer in the area and he has applied for a licence from defra to shoot any dogs he catches chasing deer. He went on to explain that he will need to take a photograph first as evedence the dog was chasing deer but afterwards he would be able to shoot it.

 

I went on to explain to him that i was just walking my dogs and there was no need for such threats but he should consider the consequenses for himself and his family if he were to shoot the wrong persons dog!

 

Anyway, what i am asking is IS it legal and licencable for someone to shoot your dog or was he talking shit? As far as i know its only legal to shoot a dog if its worrying sheep but not deer.

 

PS: I am not looking for a load of drivel about what you would do if someone shot your dog, just a definate answer as to if its legal or not please?

well Not that am all for ringing the police and that but he is making threats about shooting dog's witch he will lose his FAC for doing that!

He's just full of shit about a licence from defra to shoot any dogs.

A farmer can only shoot a dog if its worrying livestock ! And we all no deer are not livestock.

He prob's thinks its you running the deer or you no who it is, Then you will not go their again and you will tell every one who has running dogs not to go there as their dog's will get SHOT As he has got a licence from defra...

the answer is a BIG NO, only if your dog is attacking sheep or other stock . And your dog dose not have to be on a lead, as long as its under control they carnt say feck all FACT. Tell him to feck off. and if he did tell him , he would find it hard to pull a trigger, with brocken hands

sheep killer lol

Grayham thats what i thought mate, Big bald dont worry, its all in hand! Lol! And bird, again thats what i thought. Cheers peeps.

If someone was making threats to shoot my dogs i think i would just avoid the area in general. It might be a pain in the arse and we all know what we would do if he did shoot your dogs but i think i would rather avoid all that rubbish and just keep my dogs.

We had a keeper up this way some years ago that shot every dog on site even a yorkshire terrier [bANNED TEXT] a 12 year old was walking it for his mother.IMHO any body who shoots or threatans to shoot somebodys dog for NO good reason deserves everthing they get.

Yes and deer farming is spreading in the UK Park deer would also be classed as livestock too
