Answer

Who is responsible if loose dogs attack farm animals in Mallorca?

In practice, responsibility can fall on several sides, but the main duty lies with dog owners to keep their animals under control. If a farm has weak fencing or poor night protection, that can also be part of the problem. In Mallorca, repeated incidents usually require action from the owner, the farm, and the local authorities.
