Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill amends existing legislation that protects livestock from attacks by dogs. It introduces changes to the legal framework governing how dog owners are held responsible when their animals injure or kill farm animals like sheep, cattle, and poultry. The amendment likely modifies penalties, reporting procedures, or the circumstances under which owners can be prosecuted. These changes aim to strengthen protections for farmers and rural communities while clarifying the legal duties of dog owners in areas where livestock grazing occurs.
