HC Deb 26 October 1965 vol 718 c33W
Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many cases of sheep worrying by dogs have been recorded in the last 12 months for which figures are complete; and what estimates are available of the value of the loss to the farming community.

Mr. John Mackie

In 1964 3,260 cases of sheep worrying by dogs are recorded as having been reported to the Police in England and Wales. 4,319 sheep were reported killed and 4,049 injured. We have no information from which to estimate the financial loss.
