Answer

Who is responsible if a roaming dog kills livestock in Mallorca?

In most cases, responsibility starts with the dog’s owner, especially if the animal was not properly secured or supervised. Depending on the circumstances, local authorities may also be involved, but the core issue is usually owner neglect and whether the dog was allowed to roam freely.
