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

Answer

Why do dog attacks on sheep matter for Mallorca’s countryside?

For small farms, losing even a few animals can mean a major financial and emotional setback. Repeated attacks can also push farmers to reduce herds or abandon land, which affects the island’s landscape and rural life. Protecting livestock is therefore not only a farm issue, but also a wider Mallorca concern.
