May be upsetting for some
In the last five years or so we've seen a sharp rise in the number of dog related attacks to sheep. The most recent happened a couple of days ago with fifteen sheep dead and a horse suffering injuries too.

The owners of one which was killed by a farmer we know went to the local and national press and of course, to social media calling for him out as a disgrace and to be prosecuted.
Poor chap was devastated and said the warning shots and first one to the dog barely registered. Second one made him stumble but he still tried scrambling on his feet again . Third finally brought him down :(
Despite this, we still keep seeing loose dogs on farmland that won't respond to owners or stop for love nor money.
Why don't / won't people just put their dogs on a lead particularly when walking through farmland?
