Following the fact that in three years 2,000 sheep have been killed in 400 separate dog attacks, Janet Finch-Saunders AM has called on the First Minister to pledge his support, and any additional resources to help the North Wales Rural Crime Team.

 

Janet said:

“Rural crime is a very serious issue which sadly continues to affect many constituents, their business and livelihoods.

“75% of the Rural Crime team’s workload is related to livestock crime, including dog attacks.

“The National Sheep Association have just found that 40 per cent of dog attacks on sheep are carried out by straying or unaccompanied dogs, so it is time that we the public also try to help tackle rural crime by ensuring that our dogs are not left unaccompanied or to stray.

“Given the severity of rural crime, I am delighted that the First Minister backed my calls to support the North Wales Rural Crime Team”.
