18 dead sheep in Felanitx: Who protects farms from loose dogs?

Answer

Should dog owners in Mallorca keep their dogs leashed in rural areas?

In sensitive rural areas, keeping dogs leashed or properly contained is a sensible precaution, especially where livestock is nearby. Even if dogs are usually well behaved, one uncontrolled moment can cause serious damage on a farm. Owners should also make sure fences, gates, and microchip details are up to date.
