Farmers should be able to sell the dog meat of dogs that eat their livestock 👍

So that wasn't a thing? I'm pretty bloody sure the last time I chased a farm animal the cops were cross with me, why's a dog get away with it?

The dogs generally aren’t trying to shag the animals, that’s why.

They get shot so they don’t get away with it. This is about the owners compensating the farmers for the damage.
